Losen the nut on the steering wheel and grabbing it at 11:00 and 1:00 pull
and push violently back and forth (almost like shaking it firmly) and it
will pop off. I tried using a puller and several other methods to the point
of bending the old wheel and in a fit of frustrated rage discovered this way
of doing it. I can get a steering wheel off in about 15 seconds this way. I
think it is a tapered sleeve on the mounting bolt and once it has been
tightenes down you can't really get it off with a puller. Rocking it though
seems to work it back off the mounting bolt.

Thanks for previous comments on wiring of windshield washer and switch. I
finally got my steering wheel off by utilizing a gear puller and 2x4's.
Any good tips on getting steering wheel off ?
The apparent ground (black) wire from the wind shield wiper / washer switch
is loose. I cannot determine where it should attache to swiitch. The wire
from the washer feeds up into the stalk. By the way the wipers work fine.
The washer also works fine if I jump around the switch. Would just like to
get it wired back correctly.
Can the "knob" on the end of the stalk which you push in to make contackt
be remove?
I am able to get switch off steering column with no problem. Just can't
see how to take apart without tearing it up. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
