steering wheel removal

[Blue-By-U]

I searched but surprisingly couldn't find anything useful. I want to swap my 92 steering wheel with that of my 94 parts car. I already took the air bag off my 94 wheel, but I read in my manuals a steering wheel puller should be used to remove the wheel itself. Is this true or can I just remove the 1 middle bolt and yank it off? Any advice is appreciated guys.

You will need a puller. They are only around $10 or so at AutoZone. They also have them as "loner" tools at AutoZone.

FYI a pulley is NOT needed... I've parted out 16 SHOs and once the middle bolt is removed (15mm? I think) then just wiggle the wheel, hand 3 and 9 and it should eventually wiggle off. Seems the less you try, the wasier it comes off. shrug Did you get the wiring figured out for the airbag? I got my 93 wheel installed on the 91, but I haven't got the airbag system working yet... I don't know if I have it wired correct or not, but the bag didn't pop in my face thumb

It helps greatly to use a puller. I use the same puller I use for the crankshaft damper.

on the 93 I parted, I tried by hand, wouldn't come off. One hit with a 15lbs maul got it off though!
