Try soaking it overnight with PB Blaster or some other good penetrant. Put the nut back on it and thread it down til it almost touches. Now set in the seat or get yourself where you can put both knees under the wheel and lift up on it as hard as you can and at there same time either you or somebody else hit the shaft with a hammer and brass punch. The nut will protect the threads as well as keep the wheel from jumping off and throwing you off the seat. Had man wrote in a year or wo back that had tried pullers, etc with no success. He tried it this way and said the wheel jumped right off. Good luck.

Bill,

I removed the steering wheel on my Ford 2000 about a year ago. It was very difficult to get it off. I used a bunch of WD-40, and got nowhere. I used an air impact wrench with a pointed tip and and hammered away on the end of the shaft while pulling on the steering wheel. I used my gear puller, but I couldn't really get good alignment on it to pull the way I wanted to. I finally got it off by simply pulling on the steering wheel with my two hands on opposite sides of the wheel. I wiggled and wiggled and wiggled it on alternate sides of the wheel, and after a lot of strain, it finally popped off.

Hopefully you'll find an easier way to get yours off.

Good luck,

Tom in TN

Hi B...on most of these old steering wheels you can use a three point puller. You can rent one or buy one from AutoZone. Spray some WD-40 on it and let it soak for a few minutes and the puller will do the job...good luck...Dixieland
