boss kit effects signal lever? - NEED HELP TO TAKE OFF BOSS KIT!!! Sun, 29 May 2005 09:37 Go to next message
Hey guys & gals,
just got a small question.
I just got an sx with a momo wheel and boss kit.
But the thing is the signal lever doesnt return to neutral after a turn...
My mates go that its because the boss kit is not suited for my car, hence it wont allow the signal lever to return to neutral after a turn...
Is this true?
Is getting another boss kit the only way to eliminate this problem?
Also, would an ae82 boss kit suite the ae93?
I heard the ae82 kit suits ae86 which suites soarer kits which suites ae93 . . .
So lost Embarassed

i cant see how it would cause that.
the signal arm triggers off the shaft not the wheel/bosskit

No, the wheel/bosskit controls it

If it works normally with the proper wheel, then yes, you need to purchase a boss kit to suit your car.

There will (or should be) little notches on the side of the boss kit that faces away from you. These little notches are what tell the indicator to turn off after you turn the wheel. Make sure that they are lined up properly (usually one at the top, one at the bottom, one at 10 o'clock and one at 2 o'clock).

If you got a bodgy boss kit it might not even have said notches.

Yep, you either have the wrong bosskit, or have installed it incorrectly. To check installation, take the boss off, and look for the holes as mentioned above, to suit the prongs on the plastic cup that site around the steering column and sits immediately behind the Boss.

Ok, found out that i need to drill 2 holes in my boss kit...
Only problem is i tried with my mate today for 1 n half hours to take the steering wheel off...it would not budge...not a single mm...dried wd40, other crap, and yet still no luck.
Hammers, wrenches...the bastard would not comeo off...
Any ideas on how the heck i can take it off?

Undo nut a couple of turns then pull and wiggle as much as you can.

You leave the nut on otherwise you end up with a wheel in the noggin.

Clamps go on steering wheel...n i presume that middle thing goes onto the steering cylinder thing that the bolt goes on, and u just screw it until the wheel comes off?

I have the same problem with the boss kit on my Corona.
The indicator doesnt switch off after turning out of a corner.

In my case, its caused by two pins in the steering column not fitting into the back of the boss kit correctly.
They sping instead of locking into the back of the boss.

It would be easy to fix by just pulling off the boss, and drilling holes in it in the correct locations.

I just have bothered to do it yet... im used to turning it off now Smile

My Sparco wheels and boss kit never turned off the signals on my AE92 GTi... but when i fitted the boss and wheel to my AE86, BINGO it works Shocked

you can mod it to suit the AE92 you have to drill a small hole for the nipple to line up, my mate did it i will ask him when i see him next

Have to tried putting the wheel back on after loosening the nut, then try and get it off? That extra leverage can make all the difference..

If it ain't coming off, you're not pulling hard enough Wink

Me and a mate had the same problem with our ke70. Just get into a good spot so that you can use your legs as well. Be warned though!! Our car was striped out (no seats/interior) and my mate ended by upside down in the rear footwell after yanking on it hard!! Laughing

i know i have taken off a steering wheel or 2 but i cant remember the details very well, i know it has a spline and i think i has a morse wedge too espec from the trouble people have in taking it off. now a morse wedge is a tapered fit and needs an incredible amount of force to come off, ie a mechanical puller designed to do just that or impact with a 1/4 pound hammer.

only problem is that the fit can be a bit seized and the puller breaks the item or impact from behind causes damage. i think you get steering wheel pullers designed a bit better than the generic 3 or 4 arm puller... use a penetranting spray, its better than wd40(lubricant).

I will get u a pic of my puller, I wouldnt recomend using that ebay one as it has a high chance of shattering your boss, they make those boss kits out of the shittest quality metal usually.
