Steering Wheel replacement

[The Newell]

Can I replace the steering wheel with an aftermarket unit from a truck or car? I've seen some 18" models that would work quite well, but I can't find my shaft size anywhere. Thanks.

Check old post under Smart Wheel, I think there is info..

Joe, I've done it on two different coaches that have the Ross steering. It was pretty simple. The old wheels came off without even using a puller. I used a good Snap On mallet and tapped around the bottom as another person pulled up on two side. Just don't smack the other persons fingers. lol Then I installed a surplus Freightliner wheel in its place. What a difference in feel it made.

check your steering wheel. the wheel on our 82 uses a hub very similar to a grant style adapter.
