B310

B310 steering wheels reportedly use a different spline and so apparently do not fit B110 or B210 steering column.

Removal and Installation

First, remove the horn pad. To remove the horn button, remove the two screws from behind the wheel (B110 normal) or push in and twist for GX type.

STD/DX: screws on back side

GX type - push in and twist anti-clockwise to remove

Next, unbolt the steering shaft large nut. Do not remove it all the way, keep it on so the wheel won't fly off while popping the wheel from the shaft.

Be sure to use a wheel puller:

Album 5106

Occasionally you can remove the nut and "pop" it off by hitting it from behind with your fists, but you risk the chance of having it hit you in the face when it pops loose. Discussion

Be safe, don't worry. Only about $15 new for a simple type.

Interchange

Only the Sunny Truck wheel is a direct interchange with the B110 wheel.

Other wheels fit the hub but may not match the trim. The B110 steering wheel hub uses the same bolt pattern as:

45mm between bolts (1-15/16 inch) * 1970-1976 B110 (Sunny/1200) * 1974-1978 B210 (Sunny/120Y) * 1977-1979 S10 (Silvia/SX200) * 1976-1977 F10 (Cherry) * 1979-1982 N10 (Pulsar/210)

Datsun 1200 wheel bolts straight to the Datsun 1000 shaft without problems, but the 1200's blinker canceling pins are wider apart than the 1000 models pins & these strike the original switch mechanism, which either prevents wheel rotation, making it hard to steer, or destroying the switch.

Only three Datsun models used the small diameter steering column shaft, those models being the B10, B110 & B210. The B10 used blinker canceling pins that were reasonanly close together & this made it unique, The B110 & B210 share the same specs so the hub/boss is interchangeable between these two models.

All other Datsun models [at least those from the mid 60's], including the B310, used a larger diameter shaft & the boss for any of these will be too big in the hole.

These wheels were derived directly from the B10 option wheel. They made a new hub (boss) to suit the 1200 column & a new horn button to 'update' them but are otherwise the same.

The optional wheels are different from the B10 mainly in the horn button and the hub part (the wheels themselves appear to be the same, but were only sold as an assembly).

The 1200 horn button is wider at the top, and narrower where it bolts to the wheel

The 1000 horn button is the opposite (narrower at the top)

Also, the 1200 hub part where it meet the steering column is bigger diameter. So the 1200 hub flares out slightly to this larger diameter. The 1000 hub is completely cylindrical.

Note that the 1000 hub on the right is cylindrical & has closely spaced blinker pins, while the 1200 hub on the left is conical, or bell shaped & has pins more widely spaced.

The wheel & the complete horn switch assembly are identical between the B10 OPTION wheel and the B110 OPTION wheel.
