Use a steering wheel puller.

It makes it harder for track your way back to your truck... but it won't hurt so much.



You might have guessed already - gave the steering wheel a real hard tug, then a bump, then a REAL hard tug. Then the bridge of my nose started leaking. Hey, at least it wasn't my teeth.

Re: Use a steering wheel puller.

You forgot a step.......thread the nut back onto the shaft a turn or two before yanking on the wheel. That keeps all the sticky wet stuff inside your nose.

Yes. I CLEARLY forgot that step Tx.

And LOL all you like . I am too. In fact - all the guys on the farm were LOLing. I told them it wouldn't be so funny if I bled on their paychecks this afternoon would it.

Re: Use a steering wheel puller.

Keep in mind, I'm not throwing stones. In my case, I split my forehead, but same deal.

I remember walking around the shop in a daze with that funny metallic taste in my mouth that you get when you really ring your bell good.

You can judge a daily job by number of bandaids and trips to the parts store.

Re: Use a steering wheel puller.

Ouch! I was lucky enough to learn from watching a good friend of mine pull the wheel off his 55 truck. Broke his nose, but we all have put a little blood in our trucks.
