steering wheel removal
 

i know its been covered a bunch of times:bash2:.i soaked it with liquid wrench.then i threaded the nut half way on then threaded a bold the rest of the way in, lifted preasure on it and hit away at it and it didnt even budge. what am i doing wrong?

LOTS of PB Blaster.... let it soak in good, may even take overnight. When I took the wheel off my 127 it was about 45 minutes worth of work.

i can't remember who it was that posted the pictures (he will let you know) but he used blocks of woods and said that it came off real easy and with no damage at all. i'm sorry my mind slips me in my early age (asphalt to the head as a teen). jeff

I'd make a puller like I posted in my 682 thread...I hope you were planning on replacing the bearings in the column, because you'll have to now.

yeah, now i remember, it was matt!!!! jeff

While beating the crap out of if, use upward pressure at 12, 3, 6, and 9 oclock changing with each wack and it should pop right off, at least mine did. Good luck

Take a narrow pickle fork and pound that between the steering wheel and the tube, then take a 5/16 bolt (I think) with a nut and inch or two up and put that in the hole and give that a whack. I've had the best luck this way. A stubborn one you may have to hit the bolt, then the fork, then the bolt again, and so on. Don't pound too hard on the fork, as not to damage the steering wheel or the tube, just some solid constant pressure.

under 5 mins. start to finish
 

Hey Nick,
45 minutes lost, and still not off. Maybe wrecked your bearings. Been there, done that. Check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQJlvbw8NXQ
