Re: Steering Wheel Removal

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need a tool with the catchy name: "steering wheel puller".  :)  You used to be able to "rent" them for free at some parts stores.  (There is also a handy tool called a "Steering Wheel Lock Plate Remover and Installer" too if the future calls for additional Mopar blood letting.)

One tip is to loosen but leave the nut on the steering shaft until the wheel "pops" loose. Otherwise you risk mushrooming the threads at the end of the shaft. (Don't ask me how I know.)  LOL

Congratulations on the steering wheel reconditioning too!

Thanks,
Gary H.
