MS Wheel Reassembly help!!

My left paddle shifter broke so I took the wheel apart with some gudienece from Fadam but now I can't get the face of the wheel back on as the dumb bit at the bottom of the part that covers the shaft has to fit in to the wheel and the fucker won't go in so I can't reconnect the wires as the wheel isn't close enough.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I'm pissed off and tired.

I should of stayed online to help you, lol. Give it a rest till tomorrow and I'll dig out my other wheel and take it apart & take pictures for you.

It's all good I finished getting it back together about 30 minutes ago the worst part was reconnecting those wires though. Everything works and I now know that it was the paddle not being able to connect to the little button that was causing it to not downshift so I don't think I'll be needing a new wheel after all... although it feels lighter when I turn in now for some reason. I think I'm gonna go with Sundias Idea and use a spoon or something like it as a paddle. haha.

Also found the place where the rumble motors sit and the O ring connector wire thing I posted on tumblr is what gave them power I believe.

Looking at them pictures on Tumblr, I could definitely get the face of my wheel further away then that. No wonder you where struggling, lol.

Its because mines is the V1 not the V2. The third wire was screwed to the wheel its self with no slack on it and that is why It would only go that far out.
