Black Ops Machine Tactical Lock Steering Wheel Quick Release

A good aftermarket steering wheel needs a solid connection to the steering shaft. The Black Ops Machine Tactical Lock Steering Wheel Quick Release (part number 01-99-01) is a steering wheel hub or quick release from Black Ops Machine. Billet aluminum quick release.

Witchdoctors carries Black Ops Machine suspension, steering and drivetrain upgrades for Polaris, Can-Am, Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki side-by-sides. Check the fitment and details below, and contact our team if you have questions before you order.

What It Does

A retainer (hub) connects your steering shaft to a 6-bolt steering wheel; a quick release lets you pull the wheel off in seconds.

Why Choose Black Ops Machine

Black Ops Machine builds aftermarket UTV parts for drivers who push their machines hard. Its parts are made from materials like 4340 chromoly, 300M steel and 6061 billet aluminum, and many of its ball joints are rebuildable and backed by a lifetime warranty, per Black Ops Machine.

• Billet aluminum quick release
• Locking-pin mechanism instead of a ball-bearing style
• Universal 6-bolt pattern (6 x 70mm)

Signs It’s Time to Upgrade

• You are installing an aftermarket 6-bolt steering wheel
• You want to remove the wheel for security or easier entry

Buying Guide

• Machine-specific: retainers are made for specific makes and models.
• 6-bolt pattern: works with most aftermarket UTV steering wheels.
• Horn: some quick releases have no horn function.

Installation Overview

Follow the instructions included with the part and your service manual. A typical install looks like this:

1. Center the steering and remove the stock wheel.
2. Install the retainer on the steering shaft and torque the nut to spec.
3. Add the quick release or bolt the wheel directly to the retainer.
4. Check that the wheel is centered and everything is tight.

Pro Tip

Use thread locker and check all bolts before each ride.

How It Compares to Stock

Factory UTV parts are built to a price for average use. Black Ops Machine parts are built for drivers who jump, race and run big tires, so they use stronger materials and tighter tolerances. Upgrading the steering wheel hub or quick release now can prevent a breakdown far from the truck and protect the parts around it.

Trail-Ready Checklist

• Torque all new hardware to spec and mark it with a paint pen
• Recheck torque after the first ride and after hard use
• Carry basic tools, a spare belt and recovery gear
• Inspect suspension and steering parts before every ride

Quick Release vs. Fixed Hub

A fixed retainer bolts the wheel solidly to the steering shaft and is the simplest setup. A quick release adds a coupler between the hub and wheel so you can pull the wheel off in seconds, which makes getting in and out easier and helps deter theft. The Tactical Lock uses a locking pin instead of ball bearings for a tighter, more solid connection, but it has no horn function, so plan your horn button elsewhere if you need one.

Choosing the Right Steering Setup

Start with the wheel you want, then work backward. Most aftermarket UTV wheels use a 6-bolt pattern, so you need a retainer made for your make and model. Add a quick release if you want to remove the wheel, and a push-to-talk plate if you run radios. Stack-up height matters: every adapter moves the wheel closer to you, so sit in the machine and check knee clearance and reach before tightening everything down. Recheck all bolts after the first ride and before every trip.

Safety and Maintenance

Always support the machine on stands, never just a jack. Torque fasteners to spec, use new cotter pins and locking hardware where required, and recheck everything after the first ride. Inspect suspension and steering parts after hard hits and at every service, and keep greaseable parts greased.
