Ok...I a not in the habit of showing my stupidity, but here goes? I am trying to remover a steering wheel from an older garden tractor. I致e gotten the nut off, but the wheel refuses to separate from the shaft, I have gear puller on it, but the ears do not quite extend far enough under the lip of the hub to engage the metal part, and are pulling on the plastic. I have put as much pressure on it as I dare and have rapped the center shaft of the puller that rest on the end of the steering shaft as hard as I dare. Used plenty of 撤B Blaster? but this thing acts as thought it is welded onto the shaft. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would surely be appreciated. Thanks Guys!

Are you using a gear puller as stated in your post, or a true steering wheel puller?

A gear puller. There are no threaded holes or receptors of any kind that allow the use of a steering wheel puller.

WooHooo!! It's off. I left the puller attached and snugged up really tight last night and soaked everything down with penitrating oil. Gave it several good rapps with a hammer and went to bed. I went out this morning and took a turn on the puller and it turned with ease. Sometime during the night it came loose. Thanks for the resonse. : ) Now to get the dash assembly off......

Glad you got the wheel off. What a pain those things can be. It's too bad the steering wheel didn't allow you to use a puller meant for them.
