2005 Chaos in its slip

[Dave LeGear]

No, and more than likely the key-way in the steering shaft spline that is rusted in place now from lack of service, or grease when installed.

The blue wrench (Propane torch) might help, but be real careful and just get the steering wheel "hub" warm and not the shaft it's self so it expands way from it... Just be mindful you have a lot of stuff that can torch up real quick (like penetrating oil residue) when using it!

I think you will really enjoy that one, and have better command authority over the vessel at the same time

Dave here's the new wheel, took it out a few time. It's a game changer for sure, thanks again.
