i have a 1951 TED20 and i have been trying for about a month to take the steering wheel off. The thing will not budge even though it has been battered with numerious hammers, even the WD 40 wont soak through to try and relieve it. I have no way of getting my hands on a set of gear pullers and i have run out of ideas.

Hi there, There is a post somewhere here that mentionned using a nut being same size as original and a bearing slightly larger than the nut size opening. You'd weld them both ending with the bearing protuding slightly below nut surface. Then you'd tighten tight until bearing contacts wheel shaft surface and give it a few good hammer blows then voil�. Now I'm not speaking from experience but it does sound plausible.

On a sidenote I never figured why WD40 made so much inroads in the rust inhibitor market, it is only an oil dispersant pure and simple. Great for starting my Elan Skidoo on the first cranking of the season though . :)

Good luck

Rent a puller from your local auto parts store. Be sure to tell them it's to remove a steering wheel(you need a split ring to grab the underside of the spokes). Also side impacts from a rubber mallet help set up a vibration in the shaft.Please NO BAD WORDS kim the board moderator will get upset.

PB Blaster is good stuff and might help. Squirt it on and let it sit for awhile. WD40 is no good for that. Also, heat might help, even if just from propane canister.

I would'nt use a torch, the heat/flame will ruin the bakelite wheel material. I'd use PB blaster and the steering wheel puller as posted. WD40 is about like using kerosene and has little lubricating qualities. Until recently it did not say anywhere on the can it would even lubricate. It will however, burn readily and flash when subjected to a spark, high heat, and flame; thus making it good for a starting fluid.

My NAPA store rents sterring wheel pullers. check with the one near you. Hammering could damage the bearing in the gear box. the puller is the safest way to go.
