Previous owner installed what I believe to be a 53 Crestliner steering wheel on my 55 Fairlane.
I finally figured out that there are 4 screws through the back of the steering wheel that hold the horn ring on. I have the horn ring off.
Now I'm trying to get the steering wheel itself off the shaft/splines. I've got a puller and I've cranked on it up about as hard as I feel comfortable with. Just wondering if I'm missing something, as it shows no sign of breaking free. I guess I can keep cranking on the puller, but how bad are some of those old steering wheels to remove? I've never had this kind of trouble before, but never worked on a steering wheel this old.
Help!
Edit/P.S. Yes, I loosened the nut holding the steering wheel on. |
