Removing Steering wheel

[Mongo316]

Hello all, May be a dumb question. my 67 stang coupe I am trying to remove my Factory stering wheel no luck. I have removed the big center nut and the wheel does not budge. Am I missing something here? and help would be great
Thanks Mario

Yes...
The shaft has a tapered end and the nut presses it on tight.
A puller makes it easy.
Got a harmonic bal puller? that will work.

Did you have to pry out the small button in the middle to get to the nut, or does the whole top piece come off? I need to pull the wheel on my wife's '67 but its not obvious how to remove the cover without breaking something

On a 67 just turn the center pad counterclockwise to access the nut. Might be a good idea to disconnect the negative battery cable first.

Thanks! Knew it had to be something simple.

You need a puller to pull the old steering wheeloff its not a easy task with out it. USe a hormonic balencer remover to pull it out.
