How to take steering wheel bezel off "How-To"
Since i see many questions for this i might as well.
Step 1:Buy a tool like this or find somethng similar to this around ur house.
Step 2:Stick the tool inbetween the gap of the bezel..like so...start from the top and look for the clearence...MAKE SURE U GET BEHIND THE BEZEL UNDER THE CLAW TO GET IT TO POP OUT...IF NOT U WILL BEND THE EDGE..As you can see i did in the first try
Step 3:Once the top is out you will be able to see the other claws halway out..one by one, start from the right claw and jump to the left, thn down to the bottom 3 claws to even it out as it pops out.
Almost completely out
Completely out side by side look
And whats left
^^^As you can see the holes where the claws hook..it will be pretty much the same process to put back...Good Luck, hope this Helps!

Nicely done this time. Looks allot better. Nice how too, I was going to make one when I did mine.
You should post the how too in the how too section.

oh and the lines or on top of the bowtie which is why it stand out..not outlining the outside
no more clear...i did 2 coats..plus if i smooth it out it will just look gloss black instead of flat black...gives it a rough look..kinda matches the steering wheel material
try maybe a thick coat or fill in the hole with some kind of paint sand it smooth and then do the thick layer coats on watever you choose
haha yes

um ive tried doin sumthng like that on other thngs...most of the time u end up making it worse...why you say??? the amount of pressure, or if you try to to hit the spot u might make another dent..making a bigger dent on top of the original dent etc. etc...
