Steering Wheel

ramzb · #1 05-08-2006, 10:26

Has anyone got any tips for removing the steering wheel. I've undone everything but it's as tight f@*k even tried beating it with a lump hammer. Do I need some sort of hub puller or is there an easier way?

I pulled my steering wheel off by hand. It helps if you shout at it. Watch out you dontfly back and smack your head when it eventually comes off.

There should just be the one big hut in the centre holding it on................

There are pullers available to do the job and make it light work though

I've tried shouting at it, swearing at it, hitting it and it still won't budge. Might have to get to welding torch on it

here is the trick of the trade moment tap the steering wheel in sequence left and right ie left-right-left-right each time harder than before and it will loosen

dont force it,use a bigger hammer

just grab it at either side and as flex said pull one side then the other

You most likely already got it off by now but I'd like to put my 2 cents in. I had the same problem. You can either use a wheel puller. Or use some type of rubber hammer & just beat it until it comes off. That's what I did.
