Another steering wheel removal PITA
This is not working. Tried various things, read all about it.
I think I will try to make a different puller. Thread some holes near the collar for puller bolts. Make a bracket for the bolts. Saw a video on it If all else fails I will cut it out then pull the metal collar out. I could take it to dealer but... |

Soak the splines with PB Blaster overnight, place a hardwood block on the shaft and smack the daylights out of it while someone is pulling on the wheel. It has always worked for me.

Re: Another steering wheel removal PITA
hipower, I will try that.
I don't think this strap/puller setup is really putting the compression force near the collar where it should be. Seems to just be bending in the sides of the wheel. I will whack at it again today. |

Re: Another steering wheel removal PITA
This is exactly what I was going to suggest. Even works on old tractors sitting outside for decades.

Re: Another steering wheel removal PITA
Ok, I will try.
Anything going to get smashed in here? New to this, just thought I would ask. I could take it out to check it out after the wheel is off but I have other things to deal with. I like to take things apart to insure it's all good but I have electrical I need to work on. |

Re: Another steering wheel removal PITA
if you are getting a new steering wheel, just use a dead blow hammer on the back of it. Leave the nut on one or two turns so it doesn't go flying....

That is just what I was going to suggest. I whacked mine a couple times, right where the bolts that hold the center cover are and it popped right off. Good luck, Aflyer |

Re: Another steering wheel removal PITA
Thanks guys.
Didn't pound it today, just looked at it and squirted more PB Blaster. I want to keep the wheel for a little while. Heck I have not drove it yet! It's got an all new, well almost all new front end. Bearings were good! I will keep at it. |

Re: Another steering wheel removal PITA
Thought you had to remove it? Do you want to remove it, or want to "keep it a while.?"
People are giving you advice and waiting for your result on their advice. Do you know what you want? |

Re: Another steering wheel removal PITA
I didn't hurt mine whacking it from the back, like Kashmir I too used a deadblow hammer which is made out of hard rubber.
It is all about a little shock, not twisting force like your ratchet strap rig. You won't hurt the bearings in the column with a few dead blow hammer hits. Aflyer |
