Angry Removing Factory Steering Wheel...

After buying two different steering wheel pullers and sweating a bucket full, I finally got my Factory Steering Wheel off... Well, Most of it -

It seemas as though the Rivets that hold a portion of the wheel together gave out and left a part of it on the shaft. (See Pics)





Any ideas on how to get this remaining piece off?

Hey RC, sorry about your problems with the wheel, its always something. If Run to discount auto and pick up a 2 or 3 claw puller or gear puller. That should be able to pop it right off. Some of them are labeled ball joint puller (what I use them for). Good luck man.

Thanks for the reply, after a good nights sleep, I am ready to try again. I have some good ideas, I just hope one of them works -

Worse case, I replace the column cause I wont let it beat me!

Make sure your patient getting it off, and don't damage that steering shaft. If you busted it or gnarl up the teeth your headaches will multiply, trust me I learn everything the hard way. That $6.00 gear puller should pop it right off.
