Steering Fitment issue

[citislkr]

Hi guys.

I have a strange dilemma over here. I have a 2001 Citi golf and I have a aftermarket steering on at the moment. However I had a Citi life steering wheel on there that I didn't use anymore and swopped it for a CTI steering wheel!

Now my problem is that the CTI steering doesn't want to fit on the shaft, my shaft is thicker and doesn't look like anyway around it????

I had a 2004 model golf before and the CTI steering fitted right in there. Please help me figure what is cutting?

Thanks guys

Yeah the shaft size changed at some point on the citi, no way around it that I know of unfortunately.

Some citi's have a spline adapter that takes the small shaft to the big shaft so maybe check if yours has that. You use a 27mm spanner and a puller to get that adapter off

Correct, all the new citi's came with them. Just take that of and it will fir.

I figured that out thanks guys but I was damaging my steering surround so I left it alone. Don't want rattling bits there.

Could one of you guys upload a pic of how the 27mm spanner and puller must be used

Slip the spanner behind the spacer. Hook puller to spanner, pull.
