Brian-
Here is how I pulled my steering wheel. First start putting liquid wrench in the splines for at least a week
before you attempt to remove the steering wheel. Next, you can use a gear puller (preferably three prong) to
remove the steering wheel. I will assume you have already removed the nut. put the nut back on the steering
shaft leaving approximatly 1/8" between it and the steering wheel. Now use a piece of steel with a small hole
or alot of washers and put this on top of your steering wheel nut. Then use the gear puller to "pop" the
steering wheel loose. Use your judgement and don't "reaf" on it at first, you may have to reapply liquid
wrench and possibly heat to loosen the rust. be careful not to put to much pressure on the steering wheel nut
because it could collapse from the pressure, luckily they make repros just in case. I assume you need to pull
the steering wheel to remove the body, correct? Hope this helps
