There is no right way it is just getting in there and doing it. Both of mine have been done for 2 years and have held up very well. They are going to expand and contract and crack. I dont think anybody has a sure cure for these wheels. I will post more pics and hope this helps. Don't be reluctant to tackle it. I found it to be very rewarding!

Thanks for the news and info. I now have a really nice 62-65 Chevy II steering wheel that is perfect for my truck, and it only has a few very minor cracks. So, I am going to tackle it.
