The first thing you want to do before pulling the wheel is check the toe-in. If it is off it can change the position of the wheel. Often you can pull the steering wheel on ones of these without using a puller. Loosen the nut up but leave it on a few threads. Brace your feet on the floor & grasp the wheel with both hands pulling on it one side at a time. It may pop loose. This usually works with these old vehicles because the shaft is part of the steering gear. Dont do this with newer vehicles, they have a bearing on the bottom of the shaft & many are colapsable columns for safty that can be damaged.
