P1000 A Simple Question For A Simple Task - Steering Wheel Removal

[HBarlow]

How do I remove the steering wheel center cap on my Pioneer 1000?

I know it's simple. Can I insert the end of a medium-sized flat blade screwdriver under the edge of the center cap and flip it up?

When I bought it the steering wheel was at 1 o'clock when driving straight ahead. When I took it in for service a couple months ago I carefully explained the problem and asked the cute little female service writer with nice purple hair to have the tech remove the wheel, rotate it counter-clockwise to center, and reinstall. When I got the buggy back the steering wheel is at 10 o'clock when driving straight ahead.

I guess 1 o'clock and 10 o'clock on a round clock face are the same to a millennial?

I'd like to realign it myself.

And thanks for the video. I'm going out to the garage to re-clock my steering wheel now.

I'm pleased to report my steering wheel is now correctly aligned when the buggy is moving forward. An impact wrench was required to loosen the 19mm nut. I don't work on anything any longer but fortunately I still have an air compressor in my garage and an old pneumatic impact wrench so I was able to do the job.

The video was perfect for my task.

Check your alignment before removing your steering wheel to re-center. You may be dog-walking down the trail...

Easy-peasy, thanks!!

An alignment check is probably a good idea but too hard to do at home.
