Kosnmotion Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Can somebody explain how to remove my steering wheel? Can't figure it out. No videos really anywhere. HELP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Have you bought the shop manual. Thought I would ask before Joe P. asks....😉 Where are you stumped? Can't get the horn button off to get to the nut? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Loosen the nut, put knees tight under the wheel, push up hard and hit the nit with a hammer. The shop manual says different but hundreds of GM "technicians" did it this way. Save a walk to the tool crib and usually worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but just because someone else does something half-fast is no reason to emulate them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I used to try that in used parts emporium yards. Broke steering wheels several times. Must be a west coast no rust thing. I use a harmonic balancer puller with long bolts. One tool instead of two to own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was common in most GM dealerships, in a major city 20 miles east of the center of the continent, in the 40's 50's and 60's until the collapsible columns came in.

Zimm63 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I used a universal steering wheel puller on my 63. No drama. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not familiar with that particular one, but if there are no screws on the windshield side of the steering wheel to hold the bar on, try to twist the horn bar to the left a little. It may just lift straight off after turning. DON'T FORCE IT. If it looks like this one, there looks to be two screws on the back side holding the bar on....

keiser31 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) If it looks like this one, you have to remove the horn button and remove the three screws to take the bar off....looks like it may even be UNDER the wheel in which case, you may have to remove the whhel first.

Zimm63 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Take the four screws out shown in the picture above. There should be two holes to accept the puller bolts underneath, if memory serves. That assumes you have the standard wheel. Check the manual for more information.

61polara Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 After you remove the plate held on by the four clutch screws, you will see the two holes to screw the bolts from the puller into. Loosen the center nut that holds the steering wheel to the shaft and run it up to cover the top of the treads on the shaft to protect them. You want to keep the nut on but loose to keep the wheel from hitting you in the face when it come off. I don't think the splines on this wheel are indexed, so you should mark the wheel and shaft for alignment when you put it back on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosnmotion Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thank you. Finally someone who could answer my question. It was the clutch screws that were confusing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Your next purchase should be a GM parts book and a GM shop manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikemike6459 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Guys, I must apologize for the time lapse but I did figure out the horn bar with the 2 screws on the back side. My 40 year old steering wheel puller worked fine after that. Only problem now is my LeCarra wheel adapter won’t allow for the horn operation...thank you all for the responses.

lorenzocg Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hello All, How do you remove the four screws behind the horn bar? That's where I got stuck... I tried the manual pull but did not budge. Does not look rusted. 1964 Riviera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
