Re: [FWDLK] More questions about 61 new yorker

[Dirt Rider <drt-rdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I used to work in the garage and we needed to remove a steering wheel,
we removed all the horn stuff and loosed the steering wheel bolt. I would
sit in the car and pull up on the wheel and the other mecahinc would take a
big flat punch and a hammer and give the ahft one blow and the wheel would
pop off.
