Does any one know of any place that fixes bent steering wheels? If not, how did you do it? I was thinking of making a clam shell device of the same diameter as the wheel and torquing it around the wheel to get it round. Then (leaving the clam shell on) just pounding it against a flat surface to get it square.

I don't know if I would trust a 'bent' steering wheel. The metal has already been stressed, and may 'break'
on impact, rather then bend once fixed. Half of a steering wheel stuck in your sternum would not be a happy picture.

Good point. You have me thinking.

FWIW, back in the mid-70s my Dad cut a 62 Fury in pieces so he could haul it off in a stepside pickup.

I remember him swinging repeatedly with a sledgehammer on the steering wheel -- and it took some serious hits to flatten it into the dash. (we were poor and hillbilly and Dad didn't have special tools like a steering wheel remover)

Based on the 'clamshell tool' originally described:
A steering wheel close enough that you could consider massaging back into shape isn't going to become an eggshell because of the massaging.

Just straighten it and run it, its not going to break with a little bend, its not that brittle. Tim
