    You could remove the steering shaft with the wheel still attached

    Never understand why people don't buy a puller, you can get them from amazon on next day delivery

    Alternatively crack the nut off slightly and take it for a drive until you hear it pop.

    Ste Porter (iirc) may disagree with that method!

    Really? I can imagine why, and agree its not very clever..... But does work if you leave the nut on

    He built an LET Nova. Rolled it badly on the first drive, as they forgot to tighten the nut!

    Not quite the same as this, but I bet it brings back unpleasent memories.

    As for people who remove the nut fully, they deserve all they get! lo

    [Edit] Just realised you said you can imagine why. My mistake.l

    think of it like this...

    1. buy a puller
    2. remove wheel
    3. sell puller on eBay for about £2 less than you bought it...

    Tried taking mine off last night as I've got a Momo Type 35 Thunder to go on, and spent ages tugging and wouldn't come off, no point in buying a wheel puller now cos I've got my car on display at a show and wanted the new wheel on haha, guess ill just have to keep pulling!
