Steering wheel puller
In reading the workshop manual they say to use
T77F-4220-B1/205-116 to pull the steering wheel.
I see that the book is calling it a Differential Bearing Remover
I see from some photos that this looks like a 2 jaw pullerwith the hooks on the inside.
My question is can a standard 2 jaw puller be used if it fits and won't bang up the threads?
I take it that the jaws need to catch near the center hub so as not to add stress to.
Do I have this right?
Thanks
Sean

I pull them off by hand. I lay the seat all the way back, put my knees under the bottom of the steering wheel and pull on the top. They pop right off. If you try this method, be sure to leave the bolt in a few threads. If you don't, bad things can happen. LOL

Yeah, I got lucky the first time and the steering wheel came off with no problem. The next one I did I had to replace the clock spring, because the wheel snagged the airbag connector and took it with it when it popped loose.

I am more convinced I have a bad clock spring connector.
Last night when at Home Hell Hole aka Home Depot.
Before I started to go home and before I started the truck
I reached under and fiddled with the connector and the light
did not come on for about 100 yards out of the lot.
The tests show show it in the clock spring and it stays in that
side even with the rest checking out OK. So long story short.
Time for a new clock spring.
