Anyone know how to get the base of the Fox locking steering wheel off? I need to get to the gear set to replace them. I read in a November 2011 post that you drive the pins out from the bottom, however, I don't see holes in the bottom of the case. Even if there was, they would be behind the throttle and spark advance levers. This is on a 26 coupe. Any ideas?
Thanks

Haven't removed a Fox brand, they made several kinds. But if yours looks like this case, the twin square locking pins are placed from the top, but removed by access to the 'notch' or openings on the underside of the case top {see arrow}. Assume easy to place a small drift up into that opening and knock up and out the lock pin..

Jerry, I have a fox locking steering wheel on my 26 coupe. There are two square keys that lock the cover in place 180 degrees apart. They are driven down between the gear case and the cover. Underneath you will see two half circles where the pins are. Take a small punch and bend a slight curve into it and use that to drive the keys out until they can be pulled out.

Stephen, got the pins out , does the case just pull up or does it need a bit of persuasion?
Thanks

You unscrew the cover just like with the stock arrangement.

Thanks

Got it all apart, taking the spider to a locksmith to see if he can make a key. I'm having to pull the steering shaft as the pitman arm keyway in the shaft looks like the Grand Canyon . I guess I'll have to buy a new one as no one seems to have a good used one, probably best anyway. Thanks for all your help.
