August 5, 200421 yr i have everything except the right size bolt for the seering wheel puller, anyone know what it is?
August 5, 200421 yr loosen the nut till it's flush with the stud and then give the wheel a yank back hard and it should come loose after that so don't need the puller
August 6, 200421 yr Like baja said...only I've just been removing the nut entirely. Remove the nut, yank on the wheel...voila...steering wheel in your hands.
August 6, 200421 yr Sometimes EA82's do get stuck on there pretty good. I've used just a standard 2 jaw puller, if you look at the wheel, there are actually slots in there for one of this type. Or, If I remember correctly, the bolt is an M12 1.0 pitch thread. So what you can do is get a nut to match the steering column, and one to match the wheel puller, and just weld the two together. And then use a standard wheel puller. Or, you can just take the nut off, grab the wheel, put your chest on the wheel, and wrap your arms around it grabbing your shoulders with your hands, then plant your feet well on the end of the floor board, then yank on that thing with all you got, usually takes 2, but I've had some that didn't come untill the 4th try. This method sucks the worst when your in a wrecking yard, and the car doesn't have a seat in it. Either way, lotsa luck.
August 6, 200421 yr the reason why I said to leave the nut on is so that you don't get a nasty suprise if you pull on it too hard
