man i been trying 2 get this steering wheel off so i can get the indicator and wipers stalks off i want to get them off without damaging the steering wheel i went and bought a 3 jaw pull that didnt help i cant centre it right and im just about 2 try a home made thing see if that works but man ive tried and tried 4 days non stop is there some tool or somthin guys?????

Have you got the cover off? there are 2 screws on the side, then you just get an adjustable spanner thingy and untighten the centre bolt? Then it just pulls off (with abit of force)

Yeah theres 2 screws on the back, i wish i knew that before i broke my one lol.

damn horn kept tooting wen i went round a corner so i punched it in the middle and snapped all the insides :bowrofl:

as far as centering the wheel goes ive got no idea what an easy way is, if u find one please let me know!

When you take the wheel off, make sure your car is dead centre, or get a wheel alignment and take it off/on and go for a drive and see if its straight or not.

these scerws where are thy located cause i dunno if ive taken them off or not i took out 2 bolts that was hold a metal piece in i think apart of the horn

where are these bolts or duz it tell u in the gregory manual??

Ok there are 2 screws that hold the front plastic bit on, but sounds like you've already undone that. There are screws on the wheel when you lift the cover, NONE of these hold the wheel on, they just hold the horn in place and 1 acts as a grounding for the horn.

Once you've got that far you take that big chunky thing outer the middle (dunno what it is, kinda like padding/metal). Then you just unbolt the big centre bolt and pull the wheel off.
I cant remember if that chunky thing needs to be unscrewed/unbolted.

ive done all that got the rubber black chunky piece off and everything and i still cant get it off man i have tried car jack and all it duz is bend the steering wheel it wont come off at all like i guess i could cut the steering wheel off but it dosnet help me as i have another TR which i wanna put the indcator stalk onto and i cant damage that 1 as it is a good car and this 1 is a wreck in dismantling for spares.

theres gotta be a damn tool or somthin ive tried even a small sledge hammer and everything RP7 WD40 everything come on wat do mechanics use?????

So have you taken the centre bolt out? just use a standard spanner, easy. Then the wheel just pulls off with abit of force.

once u have the cover off.

undo the centre bolt using a socket or something then grab the wheel at 9 and 3 and shake it left to right really hard. U CAN DO IT PUT UR BACK INTO IT, then grab it at 12 and 6 and shake it up and down really hard. should come straight off.

ive taken the centre bolt off and all that ill try holding it like u said but dont think it will budge will try 2morrow.

sorry i meant to say rock it from left to right. not shake

Yeh just use abit of force mate, mine took abit hehe.

ok i tried like you said and no luck and i had my feet up on the dash pulling it like you said bending the crap out the wheel itself and all and yes i did try i put my weight into it a sum of 160kg so if that dosnet get it off wats next boyz??

come on some 1?????theres gotta be another way.

come on some 1?????theres gotta be another way.

Dude we've told you everything, maybe you're just weak?

Dude we've told you everything, maybe you're just weak?
Or forgot to have your weetbix :bowrofl:

OK...
In the past (never failed for me anywho), have seat all the way forward, have that large center nut screwed on so's the shaft thread is just below the surface of the nut (will protect the thread)
Knees planted firmly behind the wheel, left hand on top of the wheel (unless you're a lefty - then swap :D ), have good heavy hammer in free hand...no...a sledge hammer is WAY too big, no matter how much it'd make you feel better lol
Use knees & hand (on wheel) to pull firmly & evenly towards you whilst hitting the face of the nut as squarely as possible
Should take (up to) 4-5 wacks & she'll pop off, if still refusing to move, spray some WD40 or the likes & let sit for about 15mins & try again

Failing that, pick a spot 'bout 6 inches from back of wheel & cut off with hack-saw :badgrin: :P >j/k<

trust me bro lol i aint no weakling had 3 other people try 2 get it off aswell lol but hey the hacksaw part sounds good.

trust me bro lol i aint no weakling had 3 other people try 2 get it off aswell lol but hey the hacksaw part sounds good.
Ok can you please take a good quality photo of the wheel as it is where you get stuck and post it up. Then maybe we can see if you might have missed something?

ok is this photo any good????
i tried 2 get it off more 2day ive ripped the actully padding with my hands trying 2 get it off got blisters now the bugger.....if ive missed somthin sum1 shoot me please :)

if this photo isnt good enough ill take more.

OMG! you need a wheel puller it screws in the 2 holes on each side tighten and pop goes the wheel so easy about $15

turn it around with a bit of wood and it pushes pistons back when you do the breaks!

when i replaced mine, i just gave it a few good yanks.

i put my hands 11 oclock and 5oclock and wiggled it, then at 1 oclock and 7oclock and wiggled it. i did this a few times and she gave. although a wheel puller might be a good investment. just avoid any harsh movements and hits cause ive heard it can cause some damage.

note: all times are eastern standard time lol

And who is going to replace his collapsable steering column :nuts:

If you want to destroy your car, yes hit it with a hammer, might as well do the roof and the rest of it as well.....

Inside the wheel there are 2 m8x1.25 mm holes, use these with a puller and the wheel will come off easily. A puller is easy to make from some 4 or so mm flat steele, drill 2 holes to line up with the 2 holes on the wheel and drill a centre hole and tap a 10mm thread into it. Use a 10mm bolt on the centre hole, secure the puller to the wheel with the 2 outer holes and then tighten the centre one.

Ensure you have the steering wheel nut on far enough to cover the end of the thread so if the wheel lets go it will not smack you in the head

Granted, I've never tried it on a collapsable column
I would also hate to sit down & try & count up all the times I've taken steering wheel's off of different make & model cars
As I wrote in my previous reply...it's never failed me & I've never ended up with anything that could even come close to HYBRID VL's attempt :shock:

OK 2 things in this photo that disturb me.
1) It looks like you've still got the centre nut on? this must be removed
2) It almost looks like the centre of the wheel has been welded on, if this is the case, you're gonna have a hard time getting it off for sure. Though it is a little hard to see in the pic.

I had the same type of wheel
after taking off the center bolt it was just a couple of taps with the palms of my hands from behind the wheel
and i agree with TR-Envy it looks like its welded on

nah thats just damage caused by hit it with the hammer while pulling the wheel towards me and yes the nut is on but its off far enuff so if im pulling it and it duz come off i dont have 2 get plastic surgery on my nose ya digg.

ok well i wish i had known about this puller thing earlier ill try make 1 give that ago.

where can i buy 1 though???

You dont take the centre nut right off. You leave it on so when the steering wheel decides to come flying off you dont cop a wheel in the face. Common sense.

ok well i wish i had known about this puller thing earlier ill try make 1 give that ago.

where can i buy 1 though???

from repco or super cheap got mine from k mart ages ago

ok i will have a looks.

i made a contraption 2 bolts steel and a middle bolt all bolted up nicely everything i put that much tension on it i could see the main middle bolt bending and i wasnt gunna keep going.

man i think im just gunna get the angle grinder out i think the person b4 me over tightened this to the max.

have u tried a second set of hands? just grab a freind and a decent hammer(flat panel beating one). seeing the cars getting on in age and it has probably never been removed . u might need to shock it the same way u do taking apart old cars. grab the wheel on both sides and pull back a bit not to hard and while ur pulling get ur friend to smack the thread (not hard enough to damage only enough to shock the splines.as he tapping it pull side to side untill it slips off. thats my thoughts anyway. good luck

nah tried that manz.

For the second time DO NOT HIT OR IMPACT the shaft, it will screw your column. These have nylon plugs internally that hold it all together, if you have an accident it is designed to collapse, "shicking" it will damage it.

Get a decent puller, can get them from super cheap for a few bucks, use that.

ok well supercheap dont have a steering wheel pulll though they have a gear pullers a 3 jaw and a 2 jaw design i got a 3 jaw 1 and it dosnet have any good point 2 clamp onto and when it clamps it dont center on the shaft anyhows.

i might buy a 2 jaw see how it goes but im leaning towards the angle grinder.

They have a universal harmonic balance puller, this has slotted holes that can be used to pull the wheel as well.

i went to fairfield Supercheap they didnt have a clue wat i was talking about and leaded me str8 to the 3 and 2 jaw gear pullers.

Mate i'd just give up and take it to a mechanic and see what they can do (if this is possible).

i had a panel beater check it out he told me just wiggle it up down left right should come off after he check it out i heard the famous saying ive heard latley"ive never seen 1 on this tight" bought the tool 2 get it off stuffed the tool 2 sizes of threds stuffed both gave up gunna angle grind it off soons.

I remember when i was working at this ford laser wreckers this guy took the nut completely off and started to yank it. It smashed him in the mouth and he lost a tooth.

i aint bothering with it any more as the magna i wanted the stalks for it wasnt the stalks turned out to be a broken wire in the dash so thanks for your help guys and wat a waste of time lol.

for the future

put your knees under the bottom of the wheel
and use your feet to apply pressure
grab the top of the steering at the same time and reef it back and foward
make sure the nut is loose but still on the shaft (saves knocking your self out)


if this dont work
same thing but apply pressure under the wheel and pull the top of wheel towards you and get a mate to hit the end of the shaft with a brass punch and a hammer

only car in aprox 10 years that i needed a puller was a jeep

every thing else came off

yer i did that lol still wouldnt come off even panel beater couldnt get it off or a steering wheel puller.

i should have said on here $50 to whoever can get it off lol

for the future



if this dont work
same thing but apply pressure under the wheel and pull the top of wheel towards you and get a mate to hit the end of the shaft with a brass punch and a hammer

Mate, you should know if anyone does that you do not hit a colapsable steering column unless you intend to replace it?????

lol
i know how hard you can hit on without compressing it


if im pulling the steering wheel towards me its realy not going to move

lol
i know how hard you can hit on without compressing it


if im pulling the steering wheel towards me its realy not going to move

Where do you work?

Would be good to know so noone here goes there...

kb keep ya smart ass coments to your sielf

u have know idea about cars by the look of it

if a puller wont pull something off the next step is a big hammer go ask any normal mechanic that works on different cars every day, because they do not buy special tools and pullers unless all else fails

AND STOP CLOSING MY THREADS

Yes I have no idea about cars.

None at all.

I'm completely confident in your mechanical knowledge that a big hammer is always the next step.

I'd love to know how you remove a stuck spark plug. Do you bash the **** out of that too?

What if a door is jammed? Just smash the window, attach a chain to the door then to a winch and pull?

I'd prefer to listen to someone who knows what they're talking about like Madmagna.

I'll stop closing your threads when you stop posting garbage

Umm personally I prefer the jaws of life when I loose my keys.....


Magnus, just have a read of the mitsu workshop manual or the gregories, they both have pictures so reading them should not be an issue even for you :bowrofl:

It's almost like that episode of the Simpsons.

Homer is fixing Marge's camera, and hammer's it with a drill. It falls apart and he says "Hmmmm, I'm going to need a bigger drill".

This could be a case of something that just will never come off. I'm limited on my car knowledge, but using a big hammer on a steering column, that's just asking for trouble.

Well thank heavens that you are around then to prove the millions of dollars spent on developing a car was wasted. I do not count K Mart auto a workshop :bowrofl: Yes there are quite often "easy" ways or "shortcuts" that work well, but hitting a steering column is not one of them. Have you ever had a steering column dismantled, no I figure not because the manual which tells you how was wrong and there were no pictures that you could see so you could not read it anyway

GG n00b.

hey i dont have any combacks if i work on your car i wont see you till next service

yer i did that lol still wouldnt come off even panel beater couldnt get it off or a steering wheel puller.

i should have said on here $50 to whoever can get it off lol

did you spray it with rp7 let it sit and then try it? just an idea.

Back to topic, I think that someone has had it off before and then over torqued the wheel previously. I have had this happen before when taking a wheel off.

Usually the steering wheel puller fixed the problem, have not yet had one that I could not remove.

Pity you are not in SA as I think I would get this bugger off.

BTW, I would say that you are going to replace this stupid thing so if you get some light heat applied around the wheed next to the spline it will expand it and help it come free. You will have to be very careful of plastic parts though.

I think this should be in the iron man challengers :D

you of all people should know that you never heat any steering componets::??

you of all people should know that you never heat any steering componets::??


I did say "AS YOU ARE GOING TO THROW THE STUPID THING AWAY" you tool, light heat to the wheel, it will slightly expand the wheel and make removal easier, the column shaft will barely get warm and not be affected.....:nuts:

Start with a hacksaw, cut into the alloy wheel hub - then put the nut back on, tighten and split the hub of the steering wheel - been there, done that. The angle grinder option is too messy - sprays molten plastic over the dash and headlining - been there and done that too! And yes, some of them are so stuck on, that destroying the steering wheel is the only option.

Madmax, that would be great advice if the Magna had an alloy hub mate, perhaps look before you give advice?

man i been trying 2 get this steering wheel off so i can get the indicator and wipers stalks off i want to get them off without damaging the steering wheel i went and bought a 3 jaw pull that didnt help i cant centre it right and im just about 2 try a home made thing see if that works but man ive tried and tried 4 days non stop is there some tool or somthin guys?????

Dude, sorry to say it but I really dont want to hear about your fetishes.



On a serious note, usual method for removal of any steering wheel is to loosen the nut, use a a copper or aluminium drift to hit the column shaft whilst applying pressure behind the wheel with your knees.

Its a primitive method but it always works, even when the vehicle has been parked in the scrub for years without a windscreen .

Yeah theres 2 screws on the back, i wish i knew that before i broke my one lol.

damn horn kept tooting wen i went round a corner so i punched it in the middle and snapped all the insides :bowrofl:

as far as centering the wheel goes ive got no idea what an easy way is, if u find one please let me know!


Best method ive ever found is to use a centre punch and mark 2 spots, one on the column (bolt, NOT the nut) and one on the metal on the steering wheel.

so you end up with 2 dots that you can line up if the steerign wheel is ever removed.

when i replaced mine, i just gave it a few good yanks.

Ive never met a good yank yet!:bowrofl: Im curious as to how you found a FEW good ones! :bowrofl:

If you want to destroy your car, yes hit it with a hammer, might as well do the roof and the rest of it as well.....

Inside the wheel there are 2 m8x1.25 mm holes, use these with a puller and the wheel will come off easily. A puller is easy to make from some 4 or so mm flat steele, drill 2 holes to line up with the 2 holes on the wheel and drill a centre hole and tap a 10mm thread into it. Use a 10mm bolt on the centre hole, secure the puller to the wheel with the 2 outer holes and then tighten the centre one.

Ensure you have the steering wheel nut on far enough to cover the end of the thread so if the wheel lets go it will not smack you in the head


Whilst you are at it a few litres of petrol and lighter (or matches) will warm the metals so that they expand slightly, and then you can get the wheel removed........ Not sure about what to do with the ashes that remain from the rest of the car though :bowrofl:

The engineering costs (trip to metal merchant, drill, and other miscelanious tools required to make the steering wheel puller) would FAR outweigh the cost of the trip and the tool (available over the counter from almost EVERY autoparts store).

i went to fairfield Supercheap they didnt have a clue wat i was talking about and leaded me str8 to the 3 and 2 jaw gear pullers.


The problem with supercheap (every single store I have ever visited) is that they employ kids who cant even drive yet, let alone work on a car.

If you want a specialised tool AT LEAST GO TO A PLACE THAT KNOWS THEIR GEAR.

Repco, Glenfords tool centre etc etc etc.................... At least they usually employ some adults who have a trade background and know what most tools are........

Hi everyone, look mate all you have to do is:

1. take the horn cover off.
2. unscrew the centre nut that holds the steering wheel just 1 turn.
3. then get the tool that all Greeks use (hammer) and hit it on the nut.
There you go, simple as that...

Thanks TRELLAMENOS...

Someone needs to read the thread before posting me thinks, for the benefit of those to lazy, the Magna, like most modern cars, has a collapsable steering column. You do not hit the nut, the wheel or anything for that matter

lol nore do you apply any heat to steering componets


most people also dont have a oxy at hand

most people have a hammer

and as long as your pulling the steering wheel towards you as you hit the nut it not going to colaps the shaft

the idea of the hammer is to shock the spline very much like a ball joint

hybrid VL is this steering wheel still on your car?

lol nore do you apply any heat to steering componets

So if you could read you would see I said to gently heat the old wheel that is going to be thrown out. The heat transfer to the shaft itself would be minimal. Go ahead Magnus, hit the wheel, you bush mechanics may just work. I would say by the marks on the wheel in his prev pics that he had tried several things, there is no way a human can counter the strikes of a hammer. Unless you are of course the current champion of the wrist olympics
