How do you remove the trunk emblem??

My car sits very high the distance from the floor to the top of the wheel well is 26 1/2" front 27" rear. I cant see anything that looks like a spacer on the springs with a 3 1/2 " space between the top of the tire & wheel well?

What springs should I buy to get this car down?? What is a good height? Im running Yoko AVS 205/60 14.

How do you remove the steering wheel hub & wheel? Will I need a puller?

Thanks
Jack

The Alfa badge on the trunk is glued on unfortunately so it's a challenge to remove...

Might try a thin piece of wire to cut the glue and get the emblem off without damage.

I can only tell you what I have done on other cars that have glued on badges. I take dental floss and use it as a saw. Some times it breaks; so, it might take several peices. Once it is removed I use 3m adhesive cleaner to remove the residue.

Be careful to always try the 'cleaner' on an area you can't see. I've never had a problem with this product; but, one friend has bubbled paint from a different product. Make sure it says it's for auto paint on the bottle!

There's a discussion on pulling a streeing wheel in this BB thread.
And yes, you need a puller.
