I need to remove my steering wheel. How do I remove the Cobra Emblem.

In case you bought yours already built. The emblem itself does not come off. The metal disc that it is attached to comes off.

You should be able to get your fingernails under there and pop it out. Or a credit card will work if you are a nail biter. Just don't use anything metal, like a screwdriver.

.....or a hammer.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Avalanche is correct. That is machined with an o-ring to slip into the center of the steering wheel, so you may have to use two cards to rock it back and forth a little until you can get a grip on the edge with your fingertips.

Thread some dental floss under the edge and pry it up.

When you reinstall it, it may not want to seat because of the air pressure. If so, drill a very tiny hole in the base to allow air to escape. I also applied a thin coat of plumbers putty to the o ring to assist in seating the emblem.

I drilled two small holes in the column hub, so I could slide a small Allan key (or anything thin and strong), up from the bottom, and push the center cap out.
