removing steering wheel

[eclipse_spyder]

How do you remove the steering wheel? I got the 18mm bolt out. I think it's a 18mm. Now its stuck and does not budge.

It is also pressed on, you will need a gear puller or steering wheel puller.

A puller would help but its not a press fit.

I've never used a puller. Just wiggle the wheel back and forth once the center nut is off.

Make sure you paint or mark the wheel and steering column so you can get it back on the same way.

What do you mean by that? Am I suppose to mark the small teeths?

Was all of your guys steering wheel hard to get off?

Draw a straight line with a permanent marker across the head of the shaft bolt, line that up with a line on the wheel. You want the wheel to be straight when you're going straight unless it's not that way right now.

I had one that I was able to wiggle off and another that I had to use a puller on. Maybe there was some corrosion on it?
