Steering Wheel removal
I know I know, I'm probably going to get flamed for it... but I'm seriously having a problem removing the steering wheel. I alreadyremoved the horn and the nut, but the steering wheel still won't come off the shaft. what am I missing? i don't see any corrosion holding it on, but it's still as solid as it ever was. anyone think of what i'm missing?

Step 1: Put the nut back on the end of the shaft so you don't bust your face.
Step 2: Yank on that thing like crazy alternating the position you are pulling from like: Top, bottom, top, bottom. Try not to smack yourself in the face when it breaks loose.
If that doesn't work you can go loan a wheel puller from autozone. but the first way is easier imho.

so long as you leave the nut on and tighten it a couple of turns there is still plenty of room for to free the steering wheel, and there is no need to worry about hitting yourself.

step 1-make sure your wheels are 100% straight
step 2-mark the position of the gearing
step 3-thread the nut 2-3 turns and rock the wheel back and forth a few times like your whole body is turned into an impact wrench
step 4-reinstall with the correct markings and test drive to ensure it is straight

man, i did this myself a while ago for my fc, a long *** time ago for my datsun. just take everything off, rethread the nut a little, and whale ******* hell on the steering wheel, assuming you arent going to reuse it or resell it. im lucky, cause im a big guy and a wrestler, so, it was mediumly difficult for me, surprisingly, the datsun was easier (wtf?)
just a suggestion
p.s. the pullers are useless, be a man and use your hands, not the ***** way (plus its cheaper my way)
peace

If you dont wanna damage things go and get a puller, if you wanna risk it then just pull on it till it comes loose and breaks your nose
Thanks for all the input. I never thought a simple removal would get this much information. Go figure.
