Changing Stearing Wheel, do I need a hub puller?

Do I need a hub puller to take the leather wrapped wheel off my old car and put it on my new one?

You should use a puller. I have pulled alot off with out one. Unscrew the nut enough that you can hit it with a hamer. Hit the nut with a hammer and pull on the steering wheel.

Pulling the steering wheel is pretty easy. Disconnect the battery, let the car sit for about 1/2 hour or so so the capacitor that can fire the sirbag can drain, remove the airbag by pulling 4 torx head screws on the back side of the wheel, remove the nut, pull the wheel.
