That's WAY more work than it needs to be, I used to repair people's steering wheels when they had the exact same problem back in the 80s, I never drilled holes or took the wheel off, I used a needle and syringe filled usually with super glue, I would push the needle into the wheel until it hit metal and then squirt some glue in there, the whole job took me no more than 15 minutes and was ready for use an hour later.
Hey Nick Interested in your technique with CA glue. That gauge of hypodermic needle did you use? Did you ever try the poly glue this bloke was using Cheers Mate
@@tonyandjackieholmes9546 just the thinest needle I could find and inserted it maybe every 5 cm or so, I only ever used superglue, you could also try Tarzan's grip, that would proably hold.
You only drill the rubber. You are trying to get the glue between the metal and the rubber. I have also heard of some guys using syringes to inject the glue down there, next to the metal.
Thanks a lot, mate, I have exactly the same problem with my steering wheel, this will save me a few hundred dollars.
You're welcome. That is exactly why I posted this!

That sounds like an easier way to do it!

Solid video this deserves alot more views
Thanks for the support Michael! :)
Cómo se llama el adhesivo que usa
Its Gorilla Glue (original) suitable fir polyurethane steering wheel
Yes, that is what I used. :)
Hey should i grill in the metal or in the rubber only
You only drill the rubber. You are trying to get the glue between the metal and the rubber. I have also heard of some guys using syringes to inject the glue down there, next to the metal.
Why not take a big bore hypodermic needle and inject some glue down to the steel support core from behind on the steering wheel.
Yes, that could work, if you have access to such a device. :)
Could the glue have oozed out because of the temperature?
It was quite cool. I think it just expands as it dries.
....Wonder how much a used one would have been...Taking it off was 1/2 the job....
Good question. You have to find one that is compatible, as well as in good shape.
