How to remove steering wheel?
Yesterday I tried to remoove steering wheel. It is not positioned correctly...
I concidered this procedure to be easy before.
I tried to loosen bolt. Well, sucsessfully. But when I tried to pull the steering wheel away, It did not move!
I TRIED TO PULL IT WITH EXTREME FORCE!
NO RESULT
!
How to remove It. May be to use special tools

You will need a steeringwheel puller. It bolts into the two holes next to the steering shalt and the center stud of the puller pushes down on the shaft. Something to think about, the front end maybe out of alignment and a alignment shop can center the wheel with a ajustment.

If you do carry on trying to pull it remember if the wheel flies off, what is it going to hit first, I put my tooth through my bottom lip doing exactly that, now I use a rubber mallet and it will come off, nothing special about the wheel, it's just been on there some time.

Ok! I will try to nock It by hummer throught a piece of wood... About the center bolt: I will do only 2 turns CCW. It shold limit wheel's fly... Unfortunatly I have no puller, can you give me its picture...
By the way, my friend put the steering wheel on his neck and couldn't take it away, so we had to cut it.... It is not kidding.... Bu we had a good lough.

And it sounds like one of those "funniest home movie" moments.

It was a steering wheel of Tavria '92... He wanted to remove a steering wheel...
It was really funny, but my friend was very upset and angry.... Just Imagine how his wife was looking at him with steering wheel on his neck!

Here is a helpful link on how to use the steering wheel puller the instructions are for a Honda Accord but the use of the puller is the same.

You can rent a puller for free at your local Autozone or you can buy your own I bought mine off e-bay from the seller issof1 for $24.99 + shipping pictured below.
I bought it because it included all the different size and length bolts so in addition to steering wheels I can pull harmonic balancers and crankshaft pulleys as well.
