Best puller for steering wheel?
I'm changing the steering wheel soon, and was just wondering if anyone knew of a good puller for the job. I know that the threaded type I already have won't work. Thanks for any input

Thanks, I did a little research, and found a post from another forum where someone ground the head of a 5/16's bolt until it resembled an "L", and then used it with a regular steering wheel puller to get the wheel off. I'll probably try that route first

My puller didn't work the last time I did one, so I did it the hard way...I pulled hard. It will work, just before your face turns from blue to purple it should start coming off...of course, you do have to remove the bolt first...(and obviously the airbag).
