okokok... Steering-damned-Wheel
How do you the friggin steering wheel off on a 70?
The only thing I can find is the big but holding the wheel onto the column, no snap ring or anything. What am I missing? If I can't get the fucker off there normally the next time I try it, I'm cutting it the fuck off there. This is friggin ridiculous. I already broke a puller trying to get it off, snapped in in half. The damned thing won't budge.

Big bolt?
Never seen a big bolt, just the 3 standard smaller guys around the center of the shaft put the puller bolts in those and away we go.

Re: okokok... Steering-damned-Wheel
You know I was going to try some quick thinking, you sent me a pic of your damned dash a while back, and the stupid horn cover is on the wheel.

Steering Wheel
 Column  (edit) Someone from another board had mentioned a spring on the bottom of the wheel (firewall side) that hold the whell against a snap ring that I may not be seeing, but the wheel is fixed in place... if there's a spring or snap ring I must be looking in the wrong place.

Re: okokok... Steering-damned-Wheel
And you can see the splines on the sides correct?
You should be able to jsut put a puller on it and get er loose. Might require some "persuassion" with a mallet from behind given it's probably been there for years.

Re: okokok... Steering-damned-Wheel
Yeah, I can see the splines... tried hitting the column with a hammer while pulling, broke a puller.... maybe a gear puller might have a little more balls behind it? There's no hydraulic press that'll work on that is there... maybe I can rent one?
I want to replace it anyway, so I'm not against destroying it, (I'd rather sell it than trash it though), but I don't want to damage the column.

Re: okokok... Steering-damned-Wheel
 sawzall off as much as you can and duct tape the new wheel to what remains  How in the hell did you break a puller, or was it one of those $10 ones?

Re: okokok... Steering-damned-Wheel
Use a harmonic balancer puller. It's going to be stronger than a jaw-type puller, and you can bolt the damn thing to the wheel.
