Cheap plastic steering wheel removal?

Bought a cheap eBay string wheel for the 3600. What is the easiest way to pull this wheel? Can’t use a 3 arm puller on plastic.
 
Find a piece of tubing the right size and
cut it in half lengthwise. Buy a muffler
clamp and clamp the two halves together.
Then use an ordinary gear puller.

I used Ultradog's idea on my 3000s with a pipe coupler.
Worked fine but I don't remember the size off hand.

I thought that the original steering wheels were metal coated with plastic? The one on my '73 4000 is original as far as I know and it is mostly metal these days with a few chunks of plastic that haven't fallen off.

Either way, if your old one is all plastic or metal coated with plastic, why are you worrying about damaging it during removal if you already have a replacement?
 
I think the older 801 style were actually made of a hardened rubber. The newer ones are plastic. I cut a spiral around the base with a cutoff wheel and split it with a chisel.
