Steering wheel puller?

[StreetCreeper]

Do I really need to rent one to pull the steering wheel? Or can I just scream and curse at it until I can yank it off?

I've had luck in the past loosening the nut that holds the steering wheel on,pulling up on the steering wheel and having a helper strike the steering wheel shaft . Just make sure you leave the nut on the shaft & try to hit the shaft straight on. Use a brass drift if you have one. Good luck!

I've removed hundreds of steering wheels without using a puller. It's sitting in a taper so you need to pull and push to distort the shape and it'll drop out. Just like a ball joint or tie rod but without the hammer!

Yep, just leave the nut on a few threads and pull with both hands while someone taps the nut with a hammer

Oh great, I can just imagine the glee in my wife's eyes when I ask her to grab a hammer and come bang on my nut...

True! My left nut must be preserved at all cost! How else am I ever going to pay for supercharged 99 5spd!?!
