Default Remember to leave the shaft nut on

Hi

Comment on the steering wheel puller. Loosen but do not remove the nut on the top of the steering shaft when you first start to tighten the puller to keep the end of the steering shaft from curling or bulging. I have seen this happen and it is a real mess to get the wheel off and clean up the threads on the shaft.

I have one just like what is pictured. I learned from watching my brother mushroom the end of a steering shaft on a Model A Ford. In the end up drilling the end of the threads out till they came off with the wheel then welding a new threaded section on to the shaft. The problem may have be unique to Model A's but I never wanted to find out.

Cheers Phil
