blue p15 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 We are still wrestling with the steering wheel on my '36 Plymouth. We found one of the recommended pullers, and cranked it as tight as two people could get it. We have heated it with a torch, chilled it with dust-off, and whacked it with a hammer. Next we drilled into the keyway about an inch-and-a-quarter, and then tried the puller again - all to no avail. That thing is not moving. We have had the puller so tight that it breaks the bottom of the steering wheel without results. There has to be something we are missing. Any suggestions?

Dodgeb4ya Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 What's the puller look like on your wheel...a 100% straight pull is an absolute necessity. The steering shaft nut must be down over the tube threads to support/protect them leaving just enough clearance for the wheel to pop loose . Then the threaded puller screw pushes on the largest proper fitting bolt with washer that slips down the steering shaft resting on that nut and tube both even height.
