I just tried this for an hour and all I got were bruised hands. I appreciate the tip but I guess mine is being a more of a POS than everyone else's. PB blaster is getting me no where either.

Would it help to have the key in the ignition and a quarter turn to free the wheel and keep it from locking?

My brother is probably 3 times as strong as me, maybe he can give it a good pull.

 

Did you ever get your steering wheel off?
I just removed mine last night to replace the rotary coupler and while it was difficult, it wasn't as stuck as yours seems to be.

I wrapped the wheel in rags and then gave it some good blows with a rubber mallet hitting from behind. Eventually I could see it moving a bit forward on the column and then I grabbed, wiggled, and pulled like mad. Just about hit me in the face when it came loose. I'm certain I would have a broken tooth if I wasn't paying attention.

 

Hey Schwaggy no my steering wheel is still being an ignorant piece of junk. I had read online that somebody used a fly wheel puller on a 95 DI to get the steering wheel off and I'm wondering if I could try the same. I am really frustrated though...

 

dont waste time w/ the pullers...i even tried w/ a gear puller, but there is no good way to support the puller brackets....ditto on harmonic taps...believe me, mine suddenly came loose while trying in vain for what seemed to be hours. my best advice is just to keep trying...sorry pal

 

just to reiterate, i was banging it from behind (insert joke here) @ 3 and 9 o'clock towards myself, then it popped free and could be pulled

 

Thanks friend this was the hint I needed. I took a rubber hammer and hit it from behind and it started to come lose. I suppose soaking in pb blaster for 3-4 days probably helped too. At least I don't have to cuss in a rage and look a fool on the forums, for now . Thanks guys.
