The thing's refusing to budge anyway

haha told ya, the tools the only way if they haven't been off before!
cough* wimps cough*
Use the proper puller because as said the column is supposed to be collapsable, I have seen a few cars where people have tried shocking the wheel loose with a hammer and have ended up with no steering because they have broken the column.
Aye. Mine wont come off the TD but I darent use too much brute force because it might knacker the column & or shaft the bearings in the upper column from yanking the wheel about too much.
Ive never had any problems in the past but this one Ive got now is pretty solid. I'm driving about with the nut loose & the new steering wheel on the back seat. Hopefully it'll dislodge & I can pull over & perform the swap.....
Group buy on a puller tool?
I'm borrowing a puller tool soon :D Public thank you to Ian (cruisindude)
No worries. AnytimeI'm borrowing a puller tool soon :D Public thank you to Ian (cruisindude)

Ive been doing it this way for years and never once have i even come close to breaking one. You would have to be hitting it with a 20lb lump hammer to break it. Also you have to support the back of the steering wheel so your not ****ing the whole lot down.Use the proper puller because as said the column is supposed to be collapsable, I have seen a few cars where people have tried shocking the wheel loose with a hammer and have ended up with no steering because they have broken the column.
