steering wheel removal gone bad?
aye well i got the puller from autozone and as i was pulling it was REALLY hard. and then all the sudden something snapped. the threads in the wheel that the two bolts go into, got completly stripped. so now i can use a puller to get it off. any idea's on how i should try and get it off now?

You can just change entire steering coliums then. i dunno if it makes a difference but the horn buttons are in a different location in 95. 96-99 are in the center and 95's are on the sides.

ill give you one to try, one, you need an old nut from another car, screw it on the center shaft till its FLUSH with the shaft., pull as hard as you can on your steering wheel, and have another person hit the end of the shaft with a hammer HARD. it will usually knock the wheel loose, the nut will stop it from flying off and hitting you in the face.
you gotta be carefull you dont beat up the threads on the shaft, thats why you use a different nut to beat on.

At $6.99 no tool box should be without one.

Drill and retap the threads. You will then have to find 2 screws to use, as the ones that Autozone provides won't be of any use now. We had to do that on my nephews RSX when we swapped dashes.
