Build-a-dash!
Knock it out dude. You gotta good attitude. That alone means it's over half done already. I have never in my life had to use a steerin wheel puller. Never. Not once. Here's how you do it. Get all the horn stuff outta the way. Break the steerin wheel nut loose and back it off, but leave it on so that several threads hold it in place. Plant your feet up at the top of the floorpan just about where it meets the firewall. Grab the wheel at 3&9 o'clock and usin all your weight, rock back and forth (not TOO far) and PULL. It will pop right off and the nut will keep you from breakin any facial bones. This method has never failed me and I have been workin on cars since 1974. I've removed everything from concours restored steerin wheels to airbag wheels in this fashion and it works great.
