I have yanked a few steering wheels in my day but this one is a real bugger. The socket was a good idea but I couldn't make it work. I took some measurements and made up a drawing for a sleeve. I had a machinist buddy make the sleeve which fit great but collapsed and distorted after a few tries with the puller. Worse yet, during the process my turn signal lever fell on the floorboard. The plastic turn signal mechanism, brittle from age, fragmented due to the blows I was giving the end of the puller. NOW I must get the wheel off. I'm having several sleeves made up and maybe I will try some carefully applied heat.
