Threads on steering wheel?

The fun comes in the "just" part. You'll need some sort of puller. Some wheels have threaded holes you can run bolts into to pull against. Your's looks like mine, where there are probably a couple of slits under the raised areas on the top and bottom of the metal center section. You need a puller that will grab those and push against the center bolt (that you put back in all but a few turns).

Ha Ha. Yes I agree. I tried a couple different pullers; the plastic gets in the way. I even used bailing wire tied around the frame. No luck yet. I'm going to drive over to the bolt place tomorrow and see if I can match the threads. No tap in my tap set matched. M8 was close, but the pitch was off.

first take the center bolt out. some use a puller, some don't. i bought a special $75 steering wheel puller that i was told i needed to change the wheel on the 2011 and newer trucks, only to find out it is not needed. remove the bolt, and pull the steering wheel off by hand.
push the new wheel on, and tighten the bolt up.

I needed to use a puller on mine, but I didn't get a $70 one. I bought a fairly cheap 2 jaw bearing puller several decades ago. It never works well, but it usually works. That was the case this time too. I did a 15 seconf Google search and didn't find one quite like mine, but there ought to be some sort of "universal" puller that can do the job.
