- I've been trying to remove my steering wheel (1980 MGB) using the standard "loosen the nut and hit the post while pulling on the wheel" method without any luck. I read a letter in the Nov/Dec issue o

- FYI, J.C. Whitney sells a wheel-puller for around $5 very similar to one I paid $12 to rent, only to discover I had to buy different bolts to make it work. Works it does, and without doing any damage

- Like some of the others, I used an inexpensive (about $7.00) wheel puller to pop mine off after having no luck with the BFH. It was so easy I can't imagine doing it any other way! Have fun, Steve --O

- 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 har

- Yes, Phil, but then you spend the money you saved buying the puller on in-car deodorant to get rid of the smell of burning rubber. Where would you heat a late B steering wheel without doing damage? L

- Oops - ' sorry about that. Max is right - I was not thinking of banjo wheels! Regardless of my friend's intentions, I wouldn't try this on a banjo wheel myself. In fact, on most old banjo wheels I've
