Steering Wheel Puller That Worked and Did Not Destroy the Wheel

[70deuce]

See link to a PDF file for the steering wheel puller I came with and used on my M37 that worked pretty good.

Excellent info. I have these puller sets and need to pull my steering wheel soon. Definately information folks can use.

I recently replaced the steering wheels on my deuce and on my fire department's M35A3. I found one of the "official" tools but I had been researching other options as well. For others looking into this here are some options. Your method looks like a good one.

Great article PC, I'll put it in the Club Newsletter for those that don't frequent this site.

Thanks to everyone for the info. Both of my wheels are in pretty bad shaped, which means that they must have been parked with the cabs in direct sunlight most of the time. Surprisingly, the '86 M934 is in just as bad shape as the '66 M185A3. Thanks again...

the steering shaft nut is loosened almost all the way
so the wood is pushing on it
i soaked it with penetrating oild and put that thing on
every once in a while i would tighten it more
two days later i heard a noise that sounded like a cross between a bull whip and a gunshot
that thing had popped loose
if i hadnt put the shaft nut back on it would have taken out the rear window.

Amazing. I imagine the HMMWV jack with the stud on top would work even better. I'll give it a try.

THANK YOU.

How loud of a "pop" did it make when it finally broke free? When the wheel in my M934 finally broke free, it sounded like a gunshot...
