Steering Wheel Removal
The Steering Wheel Remover is designed to remove the steering wheels of most
domestic and imported vehicles. Three separate Cap Screw (1, 2 and 3) sets
and one set of Steering Wheel Bolts (4) are used with the Forcing Screw (9).
The following instructions apply to most standard vehicles, however consult
your vehicle owner’s manual for specic instructions for your vehicle.
To Remove a Steering Wheel
1. Set the vehicle transmission to park
(neutral if vehicle is a manual
transmission), point the wheels
straight ahead, turn the engine off
and set the emergency brake.
2. Disconnect the ground
lead from the battery.
3. Carefully remove any molding, horn
or air bag assembly following your
vehicle manufacturer’s instructions
until you can access the shaft nut
holding the steering wheel hub
assembly and the steering shaft.
4. Draw a line with a marker
(sold separately) at the 12 o’clock
position on the shaft and the steering
wheel so you can align the steering
wheel when reinstalling it.
5. Remove the shaft nut with a
wrench (sold separately).
6. Locate the threaded holes in the
steering wheel hub assembly and
select the Cap Screw (1, 2 or 3)
set that ts the threads.
7. Place the Forcing Screw (9)
over the center of the wheel.
8. Slide the Cap Screws through
each end of the Forcing Screw
bar and thread them into the
threaded holes in the wheel.

forcing the steering wheel off the shaft.
