Title: Another Spline Adaptor Question
Post by: dubstar on February 26, 2021, 04:31:35 AM
A previous owner changed the steering wheel to small spline.  I have an adaptor to put back on (191419514), but it seems I can’t squish the spring down far enough to slide it all the way on (or maybe I’m not strong enough?).

Looking on ETKA there is another adaptor 191419514A which seems to be shorter.

Question is, when do you use the shorter adaptor, is the PS models? Or do I just need to wind the long adaptor on with the nut?

the small spline had a spring and washer.... if the PO did the job properly when removing the adapter he/she might have put a washer in place. If you're trying to refit the adapter on top of the washer you might get into trouble. Otherwise, sorry I don't know the answer.

Perfect, so it should just be spring  then adaptor, no lock washer?  Will give it a go
