is there any trick to this 85 gs 12A steering wheel wont come off.....do you NEED a steering wheel puller?

 

Unplug your battery cables, take off the horn cap, unscrew the nut, take off the steering wheel.

 

Easy as pie. Remember to mark where the steering wheel went on the shaft or you are forever doomed to drive with a cockeyed steering wheel. Until you fix it.

 

iu sed a wheel puller on mine but some people do and some people dont have too

 

LISTEN to what he just wrote very carefuly because the first time I made the mistake of not doing this and was ALMOST forever doomed to drive with a cockeyed steering wheel until I fixed it.

 

I still am. I can put my right hand on top of the steering wheel, but to keep it straight I have to lean it to about 11 oclock.

People look at me when they drive by, and I look like I am tryin to keep it real

 

hahah straight gangsta is what you is.

 

Try and figure out how many degress offset it needs to be so you can take it off and move it center.

 

The trick is to grab the wheel at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions and wiggle it as you pull towards you.

 

Listen to the doc, I bent my steering wheel using a puller. After frustration, I tried the rock method - it works. You also run the risk of damaging the column if you get frustrated and tap/hit with a hammer.

 

Just grab and pull, but be careful not to whack yourself in the jaw when it breaks lose.

 

another thing, LEAVE THE NUT ON!!!!!! if you take it all the way off, you will smack yourself in the face. take it off, and run it on about 3 or 4 threads, that way the steering wheel has something to stop it when it finally lets loose.

 

sometimes if you hit the steering wheel it will loosen it up.
one time on a parts car the wheel was stuck on so good i had to use a come along attatched to the rear bumper to rip the sucker off.

 

BEST ADVICE SO FAR !!!!!!!!

 

or you can recline the seat back, I had to do that to get easy leverage using the rocking method, came in handy when the wheel popped off.
