2 more. Here it is on
the car. The other pic is the car's original wheel after removal.
While not perfect, we're very pleased with how the restored wheel came out -
especially with it being our forst try at it. My daughter and I did all of
the work on it.
Thanks to all for the help
with suggestions on removing the old wheel and getting the pins out of the
original turn signal wiring harness connector.

OK , the puller. This field expedient method has worked just
fine for me in the past when you find a great wheel in a junkyard and no
puller! Loosen the center nut and stop when the top of the nut is
flush with shaft. Now, act like a kid having a temper tantrum and
with your fists bang the outer part of the wheel, right, left, right,
left. Now planting your feet on the floor on both sides of the
column grab the wheel and pull it up wiggling right, left, right, left and
it should pop loose. You might have to repeat the procedure a couple
of times. If know one cranked the bolt down sometime in the past it
should be easy. Now if someone has been in there and run it down you
will probably need a puller.

I did have the donor wheel all apart when I restored it.
The old wheel is still on the car. I wasn't looking at the "new"
restored wheel when I was outside working on getting the original wheel
off, so I didn't see the extra threaded holes since I didn't take the horn
bar off. I didn't think to go look at the restored wheel in the
house. Since I don't have the right puller, I wasn't sure what I was
looking for for a purchase point. I was thinking more along the
lines of pulling the drums off my tapered axles - pulling from farther
outside of the hub. I figured it had to be simpler than I was
seeing, but I think the 70 degree dewpoint was baking my brain out
there. LOL
I knew you guys would be able to help - thanks.

The wheel I restored came from a parts car. My
original wheel is still on the car.

Re: Steering Wheel Removal
How did you restore your wheel and don't know how to get
it apart to remove it or reinstall it???? Did you
restore it with the horn mechanism and trim still installed
and worked around it??? Just wondering?

Re: Steering Wheel Removal
One of the things I'm scratching my head over is
finding the right place to pull it from. It's a '64
Plymouth sport wheel, so it has a double horn ring.
Pulling in the edges of the ring isn't good because it moves,
and it's hard to get in between the ring bars and the back of
the wheel. See the attached pic. By the way, this
is a pic of the wheel
we restored before we started working on it.
Thanks,
