help might be closer than you think.

Wheel turned out pretty good, especially using rattle can paint and clear coat

Okay, last one, I promise...got to get out of here before I get caught (think I should be in Stuff That Fits section) I'll sent a picture after it has been primed and painted...Thanks for looking at my back yard project, Ron

There must be a better way to do this...1 more pic

After the J-B Weld and Bondo:

Just found out it pays to ask...and more important, it pays to listen. Cut a nut in half and used Vice-grips to hold it together on threaded shaft turning it out with long screwdriver to straighten threads. Did that couple times then was able to fit socket over the nut and do it couple more times to clean it up. Thanks for the help and with the original nut screwed on part way I was finally able to pop the steering wheel off...just when I thought something was about to break it came loose. Now I'll see if I can glue the broken pieces back on and Bondo the cracks. Thanks again for the help...next I take the headliner out to use as pattern to make new one...that will probably bring on more questions.

Ron , See if you can get hold of a die and clean up the thread ?Use plenty of WD40  I have removed some stubborn wheels by putting the nut back on flush with  the  top of the shaft . You should still have 1/4 inch or so between the nut & steering wheel ?A large washer or socket on top of the nut will protect your horn wire end . If you apply upward pressure on the wheel with your knees and give the nut a big wack with a Big hammer ,it should be enough to break it lose ???You can easily fix the broken bits of steering wheel with Bondo & sandpaper . Repaint with gloss paint and nobody will know .Regards Lon

Should have mentioned to leave the big nut screwed on a couple of threads for the puller to push against.  If the bolt hols in the wheel are messed up, sounds like the wrong bolts were used.  I messed up the threads on my first pull and had to straighten them.  Wasn't bad enough to make a thread chaser.  Saw a home made chaser once.  Guy cut a nut in half, fit the split nut on the good threads and slipped a socket over it.  Backed the nut off SLOW AND EASY.

You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.
