so. with that aside, does anyone have any ideas on how to remove a steering wheel off of a '43 Farmall H? we need to take it off, so we can replace the steering u-joint.
we've tried a couple different pullers, but the jaws keep slipping off. and, since its keyed, we're starting to get stumped.
so. i thought i'd tap the resource known as StoveBolt.
any ideas guys? i'd appreicate anything. thanks!

There's also a tool called a bearing splitter that would work too. May be able to borrow one from a parts house fairly cheap,

You could start out with some penetrating oil first and let it soak for awhile.
