DIY steering wheel pullers

Just throwing this out there, picture of my two steering wheel pullers I put together as need arose over the years, bolts fit that wheel, I forget thread on stock, think it's 5/16" course I think. For the aftermarket hub, seems to me uses 1/4-28 threads .... but check. The one for a stock wheel is offsets to better fit my stock wheel, I don't know if all are the same. One for OEM is just two pieces steel welded to a 3/8 coupling nut. One for aftermarket / Grant is a washer welded to a short 1" pipe welded to a 7/16 or 1/2 inch nut

Maybe helps someone.

Oh, OK, those would work too .... Yes they are cheap enough, but I never thought to buy one when I was out where I could, was always "I need one" now.

X2 just get a proper steering wheel kit, they pretty much have all you will ever need bolts and adaptability wise, and have a good assortment of bolts (metric and standard). Even if used once or twice, the 1st time you trash your steering shaft threads, you will wish you had just bought a kit.

For 18 bucks it is not worth the risk. https://www.harborfreight.com/bolt-t...set-62620.html

If 18 bucks breaks the bank, or cuts into your beer fund, just go get one from the auto parts house tool loaner program.
