Default Another steering wheel wont come off thread!

I did a search and tried everything. The youtube puller strap method. The smack it with a dead blow hammer method. When I did that, the steering shaft pulled out the CV joint in the front end. I ended up with a steering wheel and shaft in my hands . I have it soaking in penetrating lube til tomm morning.
I ll try again tomm and maybe heat it with a torch?

Get a bearing remover tool or a large pulley remover tool. Use the center shaft as the set point for the pull seat.

If it pulled out the u-joint it is easy now. Open the jaws of your bench vise just wide enough to drop the shaft through (or into) and then have the underside of the wheel collar resting on both jaws of the vise. Now loosen the nut all the way and be sure you soaked it all down good with Kroil or your favorite penetrating oil. Now run the nut back down and few threads and get a nice piece of brass or persuasion device and a 4 pound beater and give it 2 or 3 good hard hits down and it should pop loose.

Wait to reinstall the shaft until you have the new wheel on it that way you can center both it and your gear box before you tighten the U-joint back up.

I watched the you tube videos n read everything. I then went out to the garage and took out my saw zaw and cut it off in 5 minutes. The inside has this gluey tar supstance that holds it on.

Ended up taking the steering wheel / shaft to a friend’s machine shop.
He pressed it off and cleaned up the threads on the shaft I messed up by beating on it😛. It was worth it.
