Steering wheel removal

[txhillbillie]

The bolt holes for the puller in my steering wheel are shot. How can I pull the steering wheel w/out those bolt holes?
Thanks,

Josh

Old junk yard trick. Back off the nut brace yourself against the under side wheel and put pressure. Have your buddy hit the end of the column with a good size hammer. Just make sure the nut is on the end. If not it hurts like hell when the wheel hits you.

Drill and Tap the holes to the next bigger size.

or

try a wheel puller if the jaws will fit around the wheel hub.

Use an impact hammer on the center of the rod!! Be sure and leave the nut on, but loosened, put some pressure on the wheel with your knee and one hand, use the hammer in the other. Usually will pop it right off!!
I've found that the punch bit works best, especially if the rod has an indentation in it!!
