I just finished my SN dash swap in my thunderbird but need to remove the steering wheel. The same ole puller I used to used from autozone won't work. What do you all use?

3 jaw is a good idea... a regular puller doesn't work cause there's no thread holes on my wheel (it's actually an expedition wheel)... thanks

undo nut, reattach nut a couple threads. hit wheel back and forth until it loosens up. none of the techs at my dealer have a steering wheel puller.

I either take my air hammer and just let it touch the bolt a couple times and it's off.

Or I take a long socket and wack it with a hammer while pulling up on it with your knees....this is a little harder than the air hammer trick.
