Steering wheel puller
Well my local autozone didnt have one that would fit, and my harmonic balancer puller wont fit either.
Any other ideas? |

Re: Steering wheel puller
a rented A/C clutch puller from Oreilly's did the job for me this week. It worked on both a stock steering wheel and a Grant aftermarket wheel. I just needed $4 in longer bolts from the Depot.
Good luck!

Re: Steering wheel puller
with a bit of imagination and 3bolts a steering wheel puller is an easy thing to fabricate

Re: Steering wheel puller
the wiggle method works great.... just remember to leave the nut threaded on part way

Re: Steering wheel puller
put the nut back on, so there is 2/3 of the threads in the nut..
with one person pulling on the wheel. have another give the nut a light rap(with a little heat behind it) with a hammer.. it'll come right off Last edited by stich626; 10-23-2010 at 02:18 PM. |

Re: Steering wheel puller
Loosen the nut up, but leave it on a few threads Ok, now take hold of 1 side of the wheel & pull hard. While doing this, Yank hard on the other side. The wheel will come off.....& it wont whack you in the chops Guess what....I learned it the hard way first trip around(LEAVE THE NUT ON!) crazyAl
