The regular wheel pullers do not work and it seems I need a tool to thread onto the screw rather than one to drive it out. THanks! | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 1,904 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2001 Posts: 1,904 | I didn't know how to get mine off my '48 at first. I tried some gear pullers with no luck. Then I found the threaded holes had been filled up with crud. I cleaned them out and carefully cleaned up the threads with a tap. The regular cheap steering wheel puller worked.

Once I got them clean, a plain old harmonic balance puller did the job. My wheel was really on good, I ended up having to use an impact wrench on the puller bolt to get it off.

You can also soak the shaft with Kroil or some other good penetrating oil. Back the nut off the where it is just off the end of the shaft, with most of the threads engaged. Then put your puller shaft against the nut, this saves the end of the steering shaft from getting damaged.
