Steering wheel puller

[shadango]

I bought a steering wheel and pulley puller set, but the longest bolts and the center part is still about an inch short due to the depth of the crush can.

The manual calls for chrysler tool # C3428B....and my bet is that is PRICEY.

What are you guys using to pull the steering wheel?

I assume you mean you are trying to pull off the corragated can under the steering wheel. The steering wheel just unbolts from the can. I purchased longer bolts from a supply house so I could use the puller to get the can off. With the longer bolts it comes off easy.

Yes, I am talking about the can.....

I figured on the bolts.....but its the center part of the puller that is the shortcoming by about an inch or two......

SO CLOSE! LOL

I need a puller, you could just use some timber to chock it

either get a small enough puller to fit inside the can , someone like harbor freight probably have a cheap one that will fit . or I use a harmonic balancer puller it has a std thread size so I bought a long piece of threaded rod & welded a nut on the end

I use a socket to fill the space between the shaft and the puller. Works for me.

My local auto zone had one it worked fine for me. Cost nothing to use!

WOW ...one of my old threads revived...LOL

I had figured it out a long time back.....

The key, I found, was to work thestuds from the crush can into the grooves/slots on the pullers main plate...that allowed the puller to drop down further and reach the shaft just fine.

Thanks for the replies though...hopefully it will help someone else!

It only took us 3 years to come up with some solutions to help you! LOL! That has got to be some sort of record! :homework:
