Steering wheel removal SR-1??
 

I thought I had this covered all winter because I have a steering wheel remover but it wont line up to the staggered bolts and I cant get the hub off the shaft. Any ideas on how to get it removed?

Unscrew the shaft nut till it's flush with the end of the shaft ( to proect the threads).Sit in the driver's seat and position your knees on each side of the wheel,pull up with your legs and hit the shaft end with a hammer.If you have a helper,he can pull up on the wheel while you hit it it.

Ahhh yes, the ubiquitous hammer. When the right tool isn't available, the hammer always is.:D:D

And if the regular hammer fails to work, simply get the big one. :eek:

Always wise to not allow the helper to use the hi-tech equiptment.

"Low tech and proud of it":D

Like they say "Ain't nothing a man can't fix, with a bigger hammer". :D

Just to be sure I've got the procedure straight;
You have the helper pull on the wheel,
You hit him with the hammer,
And it's the reaction to the hammer strike that jerks the wheel off?

I knew I shouldn't have used "buddy" and "hit it" in the same sentence. Now you are talking about jerking something off.We may get this thread moved to the UC section:p Seriously tho,I know there are wheel pullers available,just never needed one.Recently removed the original wheel from my 1967 Switzer project,and that boat had been sitting in a field for 30 years.Course I loosened the nut with an Alabama socket wrench (vice grips):D

I like the reference to the "Alabama socket wrench", thats a classic.:p

Hope you didn't think I was busting on you Magic. Hell, my collection of hammers are my favorite tools. If I can't fix it with a hammer at least I can take out my aggressions on it.:D

No,I knew you were kidding:D:p
