3 questions...

First- can the clutch pedal be ajusted? I just got a second maxima (wrecked the first ) and i didn't have much for choices. The clutch just seems to engage really high in the pedal movement. Is this a sign the clutch is going or can it be ajusted?

Second - how do you remove the steering wheel? The one i got has sun damage and my insurance comapany is letting me get the nicer one off my first car. I should be able to remove the air bag from the wheel and put mine in with no problems right?

Third - how hard/expensive is to install the front wheel bearings. Do they have to be pressed in or anything? My front right seems to be making exesive noise (i originaly thought it was just wierd tire hum but it does it in the rain too)

Thanx for all the help.

a lot of people are too lazy to answer you and will just say check the faqs w/o even trying to make a suggestion (even if the answer isn't there), i have much experience with these people

clutch pedal is in the faqs

to remove the steering wheel, if you have a haynes manual I remember seeing it in there, sorry I dont have it handy, I believe the main thing was this special tool to remove the wheel.

from what I've read about from wheel bearing you'll have to have them pressed in by a shop, you need excessive force

Maybe you were just too lazy to look through them. I for one don't tell someone to go there for something specific unless I know it's there.

the link you gave me is what i asked for i think, but it seems to tell how to adjust the height of the pedal not the point of engagement. Thank any way - i'm still going to play around with those settings.
