How would i go about getting a steering wheel of without having one of them steering wheel pullers?

I've tried some brute-force and even a hammer and it still won't budge

Any ideas?

Cheers, Vaughan

try driving it

usually when you need it to stay on it comes off so drive toward an old woman or beter still bunch of chavs as fast as possible

All you need is a big hammer, a 24mm socket (or bigger, i forget) and about a 6 inch length of solid bar or similiar. Support the back of the wheel with your knees an then **** the nut (after you have loosened it off of course.)

Ahh i'm sorted now -- used some WD40 (a fair bit lol) and some brute force (pulling from the top)

I think i managed to buckle the old steering wheel but who cares it has a new one now :)

Why dont you just go an buy a steering wheel pulley?

when i re-shelled my SR, i couldnt get my MOMO hub off, so i used a 240v dics cutter an removed the lot from the car instead :D
