Hi All,

Anyone have any luck(suggestions) with getting the steering wheel off of a 1955 pick up. Is there a specific tool for it? I have tried many different attempts but she is stuck. Help. Thx e

 

Well, have you tried a hammer?
Loosen the nut till its flush with the top of the threads, so you dont harm the threads.
Put a ballpean hammer on the column with the handle under the wheel. Pull up hard with your knees and the hammer then hit the ball end very hard with another ballpean.
Use big hammers and I'm assuming you've already soaked it with penetrating oil.
Its how I use to remove wheels when I worked at an autowrecker.
Stuck steering wheels would pop right off. Some took a couple hits.

 

thx rduck. I have tried pulling on it and hammering it but it is not moving. The only thing moving is the plastic is coming off of the metal ring and cracking the steering wheel. Have you tried separating the steering box from the shaft and if so is it a mess. thx e

 

Geuss a puller of sort.
