Steering Wheel (non) Adjustment

[elgyqc]

If you are talking about the in/out movement, I think that that adjustment is used so seldomly that the wheels are frozen in place on many cars. I got the wheel on one of the cars I have worked on to move by forcefully yanking and pushing on it, but it was still stiff to move.

Yep, I'm talking about the in/out movement. I'm constantly trying to move it, putting as much force as I dare, for fear of bending the steering wheel. I've tried tapping the column with a hammer. Although, I admit, there's only a small spot accessible and I don't even know if that's where it moves from. I'm thinking about taking the steering wheel and lower trim pieces off and spraying PB Blaster in every little space I can find. Maybe I'll just have to live with it as it is.
