I don’t have a steering wheel puller, or any type of puller for that matter so I used a piece of maple, 2 C-clamps and a half inch bolt. Along with some persuasion with a hammer the wheel popped of nicely. I have never seen inside so I didn’t know how everything was supposed to work, but I did manage to fix what was broke. Just thought I would share my excitement since my wife just looked at me blankly and said 'neat'. I’ll tell ya though, I wish I had some heated indoor space to keep and work on the truck.

The horns on my '48 3/4T never worked even when I jumped them with a jumper cable. I took them apart and slid a razor blade between the pieces of Bakelite which are supposed vibrate to get them unstuck. They both came to life!
