spreader tip removal
I replaced a broken spreader and was wondering how to remove the old spreader tip? I removed the bolt and tried twisting/pulling the tip with no success. Is there a trick to getting it off? (just wanted to save it for a spare part).

pedestal/steering wheel cover
I have an oversized steering wheel on my 26m. The cover I had on it didnt fit right and finally blew away in a strong wind.
