I found an off market steering wheel that would fit the feel of the truck well but not sure how to take the old one off. Any advice? Articles? anything? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,682 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,682 | They make a tool for pulling steering wheels off.. you probably need one of those.
Alot of national chain auto shops will let you borrow one for free (with a refundable deposit).. I know Auto Zone does.
There was a recent thread somewhere on here on the subject, you might try a search here on the site to find it.
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

Their cheap bolts will bend before you damage anything. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 10 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 10 | Thanks for the advice fellas... I've replaced the bumpers, installed a bench, rebuilt a corvette 350 to put in the beast, and replaced the darn windshield myself but can't change a steering wheel.

I have a big steering wheel/gear puller from Harbor Freight, the bolts are all Grade 5. I've yanked off some very, very stuck steering wheels with that thing. | | |
