I've had to resort to a gear puller 5 out of 6 times when removing a steering wheel. The one time I didn't I took the nut completely off and ended up in the engine well. They can be a real booger to remove.

I'm with SpareParts on this one... treat it just like the flywheel on an outboard... apply upward pressure and give the center shaft a wack with a brass hammer.. Pops almost every tapered item off on the first shot.

Default It was the key

I used my linemans on the key, which is what was preventing me from getting the steering off of the console. I wouldn't have thought that thing came out of the shaft if you hadn't said. Thanks Skools.

Here are the pictures for reference or for anyone else who may have the same questions later.

The console is off now and getting ready for paint.
