    Default Removing steering wheel

    Not really having fun doing this, I can't get it to move. So far I've been suggested:
    Wiggle it side to side/up and down, but the wheel bends and I don't really get anywhere
    Pull while a mate hits the centre bolt with a hammer, but doesn't seem to work

    Any other suggestions?

    yep been here before!

    i had to go and buy a little puller from halfords of somewhere like that, specifically for vauxhall steering wheels, it locates in the holes either side of the nut, then you srew the centre in and pops the steering wheel off! fink it was bout a tenner! couldnt find any other way to get the fecker off!

    Looked for the tools sold locally to me (Halfords/Motor World/other motor factors) with no success. Best I've found is a tool by Draper on ebay for ?15 posted. Just hoped someone had a clever trick for removing it without spending money that can be spent elsewhere.

    the puller you need has to be realy small as its a tight gap.

    WOW!! dont buy anything!! i thought that these steering wheels where realy hard to get off until i gave it a try. Gots me a copper hammer and a flat headed chisel thing( if thats what they are called) take the niut off and hit the middle to shock it then mine jus poped off no problems at all!!
    (you have to give it some welly though ) good luck!!
