I tried using a conventional gear puller on mine. Bits of steering wheel bakelite or whatever flew all over the shop! I still find bits of it from time to time. Anyway, I had a new wheel, which I was installing, so I didn't care. But fact is, that rubber/bakelite stuff is brittle and will break off very easily! Good luck!

wedge a 2x4 under steering wheel,and against steering housing,pry up on wheel,as someone else is hammering the nut on the shaft,also have person pull up on wheel as you are prying up on it with 2x4,spray wd40 or pb blaster on the shaft let it soak a couple days before you try removing wheel,this is what i did after trying different pullers i finally got mine off,there is a drift wood key in the shaft locking the wheel in place

I have a genuine MF puller, it is similar to a three legged bearing puller except that the 'feet' are rotated 90 degrees to the conventional puller so as to fit one under each spoke, they are sufficiently large to go right under. At the top there is a part which screws down to limit how far out the legs can swing. It's a bit dificult to describe but can be seen in MF workshop manuals. Before I got it I had two successfull methods for removal. A 'dead blow' hammer (filled with shot to prevent bounce) can work, also an air chisel pointed as close to the centre as possible works well but can damage the wheel.

The maintenance manual shows a bearing splitter being used to pull the steering wheel. The splitter is placed against the rubber hub. The two pulling bolts push against the steering shaft. This is a good way to break off the hard rubber on the wheel. I drilled and tapped two 1/4 -20 holes on the steel hub and pulled using grade 8 bolts. The holes go all the way through the 3/4 inch thick hub. Three holes are better. They should be placed in between the spokes. The steel spokes are press fitted into the hub. Robert
