if you took off the steering wheel from the hub, put it back on. once its on just try to pull it off like the original one. hope this helps.

HELP!

sawzall...

[DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY]

not sure if you can use a puller cuz i never had to. try tugging on it from left to right. if you just pull with both hands at the same time it may not work (at least for me it didnt the first time). think of it as a clock and tug on 3 and then 9, then tug on 12 and then 6. lean back while you do this and also have the wheel positioned directly towards you. if this still doesnt work, try the puller thingy if itwont damage anything.

my momo hub has a bitch of time coming off.I pull yank an tug with all my might with a flat head behind it an can usually wiggly one off,err it off.

[RpSinner]

this thing is such a fucking sob...tryed the screwdriver but that didnt work...tryed tugging from every friggin side, tryed a steering wheel puller but that thing sppears to only hook up to a stock steering wheel...still nothin. only thing i can think of is chainingg it up to the back of a truck. anybody else got any tips?...shoot ill even pay someone to find a way to take the bitch off.

i had the same prob. the hub got mashed into the teeth of the column. anyways i got a gear puller (the thing that looks like 3 fingers with a big screw in the middle) and had the finger part on the edges of the steering wheel around the hub, and centered the screw in the middle and just screwed it off, same method as you would pull a gear off if you will, hope that helps

winch!!!!!!!!!

or tie it to the back of some redneck's pickup with a tow rope and...........
OK, J/K

use some penetrating oil to make it slide off easier.
goodluck

thanks for the help guys..im gonna try getting a gear puller tomorow

Yeah, I used the lean back and shake like a crazy monkey routine left and right with both hands when my steering wheel was mis-aligned.

[DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY]

just a thought ! did you take off the nut that holds the hub ??? a lot of ppl do make mistakes you know. like the infamous passenger window that wont roll up or down anymore. you guys know what im talkin about. :D

mine did the same thing... stock wheel came off without a puller, aftermarket hub stuck on good. Go to autozone and get a harmonic balancer puller that takes bolts, and go ahead and buy some longer bolts that fit your hub since the ones that come with the puller prolly won't. it will take it off in a couple seconds.
