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

Pullers are great, and will probably do the trick. If you really really can't get the wheel off, take a torch to it and heat it up. This usually loosens it up. Phil Bates
