Steering Wheel Upgrade 16+ LC

[Polecat]

I’ve never seen the puller used. Ever.

Loosen the nut about 3 turns, smack the wheel a few times around its diameter with the heel of your hand. If it’s still stuck, hit it harder, Sally.

Fair enough. I used a puller, but YDY.

While I've never pulled a Toyota steering wheel, I have on multiple old Chevy's and sometimes you need a puller and sometimes a good smack around the rim works. Just depends, but a puller can be rented at no cost, just a deposit, from any auto parts store. I regret buying mine because now I have to store it for the one time every 10 years it comes in handy

Installed the Heritage Edition 45100-60760-C5. The Bronze stitching is a nice pairing with the Terra leather.

Also coated it with Colourlock Leather Shield, which is specifically intended for the protection of new leather against abrasion and friction - which seems like the exact use case for this compared to other leather conditioners. Instructions say to reapply every 3-6 months. Hopefully this also helps mitigate future deterioriation.

Google Searching the part number gives a bunch of results between $800 and $840. Maybe wait for one of those parts department sales and hope its covered.
