Default Pulling steering wheel

Any tricks for pulling the plastic teleflex steering wheel. This sucker is
corroded on pretty good.



Try loosening the nut enough to expose the shaft/ wheel interface and spray
some penetrating oil in there (likePB Blaster) After letting that soak loosen
the nut to the end of the shaft making sure the nut is still fully engaged in
the threads. This should allow for a gap between the nut & washer if there is
one and the wheel. While pulling hard on the wheel with your hands at the 9 & 3
o'clock positions, have someone (helper) rap on the shaft with a hammer and a
large punch. The nut will protect the threads.
I have done the same thing by myself by wedging my knees behind the wheel and
hitting the shaft

Be sure to grease it before reinstalling.
