782 steering wheel removal?
 

How the %$&(&^$# does it come off? Bought a roller that must have been setting outside & the steering wheel splines are risted to the shaft. How do I get it off? I have used a 3 jaw puller but just screws up the plastic of the steering wheel.

Any suggestions?

i will be having to do the same here shortly...plenty of play in it now...

Start by soaking it with PB blaster or AeroKroil everyday for about a week!
They can be stubborn!

Seek & ye shall find!

This has been covered before & do a search & find out. Guys on this site are good by making gizmos that make the job easier. I'd give ya the link but i'm not that good.:BangPC:

It will be worth your while.

Nik,

I tried soaking for a week and all methods I could think of. None worked.

Then I got this:

Popped it right off in 5 seconds.

As I stated above soaking it for a week is only a start then you will need what you bought or another tool to remove it especially if it has been sitting outside for years with the cap removed.:beer2:

The wheels I had trouble with all had their caps on.

I took a 2"x4" block and used an appropropriately sized hole saw to cut a hole that would contact the plastic steering wheel base, but clear any obstructions, then i cut the block in half (half of the hole on each side) I did the same thing with a piece of plate steel, take all 4 pieces and a puller ( i used 2 jaws) put the cut steel plate around the column. put the cut wood block on top of the plate steel (so the seam is at a 90 degree angle to the plate. raise the whole pile up to the base of the steering wheel and while using your second and third hand hook the puller around the steel plate and snug it.

Then I put a ratchet on it and cranked on it there was a horrible pop, and the wheel was free, the column was undamaged, and I was thrilled

Here is a pic of what i think he is talking about MattG posted awhile back

pretty close, a much nicer looking version of what I had pieced together very quickly
