Use a steering wheel puller. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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.

ouch,, I just got what you were saying,, and yes,,I almost did that once to myself..

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.

ok ill LOL since nobody else did. I know my buddies would be laughing at (not with) me.

stexag · 05-10-2013, 04:48 PM

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.

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.

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.

What,you didn't understand the "Blood,sweat and tears" part?

I'll bet your eyes watered too.
