3-9-6 for the spokes,the shaft and wheel should have a mark to line up.Yes you will need a puller.....JB

Thank You 9901, my wheel was off a full 90 degree,s, should i also clean off the white contact under the wheel that holds the spring?? It has alot of grease build-up on the copper area.

Some people have had good luck with the do-it-yourself steering wheel resto kits. I think POR-15 makes one...Also Eastwood. From what I've seen, if you take your time you can make it look real good. I'll probably go that route on my '68 wheel.
