Before you buy a wheel puller... Friend of mine told me how to pull a
steering wheel - claimed it had never failed. I only needed to try it once
but it worked. Sit in driving position. Pull wheel hard toward you at 3
o'clock while pushing equally firmly away from you at 9. Now reverse -
pulling at 9 while pushing at 3. Don't be afraid of bending the wheel, my
friend said - it won't bend. And it didn't bend. It DID come off after
rocking it this way a few times.
BTW: if you MUST use a BFH, keep the nut on far enough so that BFH hits the
nut rather than the end of shaft where it will wreck threads and/or spread
the end of the shaft so that the nut will no longer screw on.
Good luck,
Allen
