Removing 67 Steering Wheel - Stuck

[shelbydoug]

The 67 wheel won't come off while driving. You will bend it first before that happens.

Mine did, nut worked loose and the wheel popped-off.  That'll get your attention real quick!

...wow!!!  I'd have to recover the driver's seat.

You'd probably have to use hand signals too since that could take out the directional signals?

Just a quick heads up and thanks to Bob Gaines for his tip to remove the steering wheel. The rat-a-tat-tat worked like a charm, came off with no effort at all and only one shot with the pneumatic hammer. Way to easy!

I want to make a shout out to Dave Mathews and his steering wheel puller he had made for use on the '67 Shelby wheels.  Our GT500, #906's steering wheel would not come off.  Tried the center punch on the steering column, the air chisel trick but this thing wouldn't budge.
I contacted Dave and he was nice enough to send me the puller he had made and a thing of beauty it is.  This thing is top quality, fits like a glove and with a little use of a flex bar on the center bolt, off pops the steering wheel.  I used more time placing the wheel puller around the wheel hub than it took to tighten the bolt and remove the wheel.
I want to thank Dave for the use of the puller, his knowledge of the GT500's and his contributions to this forum.  A nicer man you will not find.
