Okay first of all this may seem stupid but still i have nothing to lose to ask.
My old 2003 Thrustmaster Enzo Ferrari FFB Wheel has i think physical 90(more precisly about 95) degree rotation,but once i opened it i saw nothing that would physically prevent the wheel from turning more than 90,it has the motor probably FFB one it has a lot of gears and thats all no visible blockades for wheel so what i want to know is can i do something to make it spin more even if i do would software recognize more than 90 degree rotation?I believe a lot of wheels are out there on same principle of work.

Lets say you get in there and remove the gears or change how they work, there are sensors inside that track what position the steering wheel is, how are you going to reprogram them to work with the new motions? One of the best ways to break something that is working is to try to make it work "better" or "different". Do you like having a working wheel or do you not care if it works or not? If you don't care if it works, take it apart and see what you can do to make it go past the hard stop.

well i just wondered can i do it because i dont see anything physical stoping it so probably there isnt anything i should break to make it go past,but you have the right reprogramming is problem because this is old wheel anyways,so thanks for replying if you have any idea that would be useful feel free to post it here if you have time and if you want. :)
