hay guys, for some reason i cant get the steering wheel of my vn calais... the nut that screws on after u put the steering wheel on is loose an on by like 2 threads... iv already broken 1 steering wheel puller got anlother 1 today an thats starting to do the sme thing... iv used RP7 to try an loosen it, hasent worked... so wat else could i try wit out cutting it off!!! thanks

put the nut on a couple of threads and get a piece of wood, hold it against it and give it a good whack. dont hit the column with the hammer or you'll bend the steering column.if that doesnt work well...it is a vn.

lol, i no its a vn but im not a bus driver so i want the big stwwring wheel off lol... ok ill try that

Some steering wheels are super tight if they've never been off before. Put the nut on a thread or two, bang like **** from behind. Nut is important or youll hit yourself in the head when it comes loose.

lol, iv dont that before an it hurts like crazy!!! ok ill give in another go, but im not sure that it will work...

Spray some Penetrant spray on. Leave for a hour or two & you should be laughing. http://www.3inone.com/products/penetrant-drip-spray/

the best way if you have a **** puller is the block of wood, a hammer and 2 people you put some preload on the steering wheel pull holding tension pulling it upwards, 2nd person hits the wood with a hammer that sits on the nut on 2-3 turns should come off pretty easy

i have wriggled, reffed broken the 2nd puller, used the block of wood trick an still nothing.. i pulled 1 off at u pull it the other day wit no puller but this seems like some 1 has lock tighted it on lol ima just change the steering coloum i recon... if that penetrant spray dont work... thanks guys

ive had some real tight one but managed every time without a puller, push seat righ forward get you knees up behind the wheel pushing towards ya, and bang on eaither side on the wheel with you fists/palms, one side at a time. This has worked every time for me, sometimes takes awhile and hurts ya hands abit but should work. obviously with the nut on like everyone has said. but sounds like it doesnt wanna come off lol good luck

I remember years ago I didn't have a steering wheel puller. So I sprayed the column with petetrant spray. Left it for a few hours & sat in the seat pulling the steering wheel has hard as I could. Well guess what. It let go & I smacked myself in the face with the steering wheel LOL. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
