How on earth do you take a steering wheel off?

[Young Army Vet]

All,

I've removed my column and put another one it, but I'm trying to figure out how in the world to take my stock steering wheel off.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Buy a cheap steering wheel puller. Most all parts houses have them.

You can rent one from AutoZone or Advance for free. Well you have to put down a deposit with your credit card but once you bring it back they reverse the charge.

In a pinch, have someone pull on the steering wheel, while you hit the center shaft with a brass punch and a hammer.

I know it sounds a little ghetto, but it works.

Thanks guys... When I pulled it off the bottom of the steering wheel cracked.. Oh well. It was cracked to begin with but now it time for me to look for a new stock steering wheel..
Thanks for advice and help,
Vet

Use a BFH. Then remove the remnants with a steering wheel puller. If still stumped, read the repair manual.
