Using your knees under the wheel for lift, use a large hammer and hit the end of the bolt to jar the wheel free. You may have to do this a few times.Ifyou have no luck with that procedure use a 2x4 and slide it under the wheel on one side and the dash as the fulcrum hit the bolt again working your way around the wheel to lift. I had no problem with the 2x4 method. Totalcost $3.74 for grade 8 parts. This worked for me after I ruined my steering wheel with jaw puller. Avoid the jaw puller at all costs, that puller on the video hasn't been made in a while and I couldn't find one anywhere.good luck
MSIXTEEN -- This worked perfectly. Just 5 raps with a regular claw hammer and the wheel popped up. Thanks!

Another tip to add for future steering wheel removals is after soaking it, try tightening the nut back down very tight, and then try the other mentioned methods. I built a steel puller and even with that I still had to retighten the nut to break the rust before it could be pulled off. Worked first try after that.

My experience is that sometimes they come off easier than other times. I bought a puller even. Two of them came off with some soaking, pretension, and hammer whacks. One of them did not. Seemed welded (its not). I buggered it up to where I just cut it off and now I have a steering wheel with a piece of the shaft still stuck in it. Figure I will put it on a mill somewhere and mill it out until it lets go.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
