Steering wheel removal

I'm having trouble getting the steering wheel off my 69 F100. Got the horn button off, got the nut off the center but my puller won't budge the thing. Is there a trick I'm missing?

Steering wheel removal

I have made taking my steering wheel off a common event around my house lately. I had to change the turn signal switch out and I am still trying to fix my horn. I used an ordinary steering wheel puller to get mine off. I threaded the two bolts in and then started cranking on the center bolt. It took a little elbow grease the first time to get it off, but now it pops right off. I would suggest keep on keeping on. Maybe take some WD40 and spray on the wheel and let it sit for a night and then try the next day?????? Good Luck!

Dan, Keep cranking on the center bolt, it'll pop loose. :-)

You might be able to tap on the puller through bolt with a hammer but dont get too carried away.

I had trouble with the through bolt on the puller slipping off the steering shaft, so I put a shallow socket over the steering shaft to keep it from slipping, I think it was a 3/4 socket , worked like a charm,
