    I just adjusted my steering gear (the right way with in/lbs torque wrench) 6-9in/lbs at the center column nut, pitman arm off. To achieve the 6-9 in/lbs took a lot more pressure at the adjustment screw than I would have thought. But the torque at the center column nut is now with in spec. Steering wheels mechanical advantage overcomes the screw pressure.
      Just to be safe. I will keep the tools needed to "road adjust" the screw if things feel to tight !
       Anyway. to my question. My steering wheel has not been centered since I bought the truck. Since I've got the horn button off. Can I pull the wheel off, and get the wheel closer to correct center? Or do our A100's have a master spline at the steering wheel/column center shaft?

    Nope, you can move it around as needed limited only by the spacing of the splines.

    Rusty,
    Here's some tips. When pulling the steering wheel, keep the nut on flush with the top of the center threads to protect them. After you get the wheel off, you can also check the turn signal and horn mechanisms and connections.
