ok, here what will work, penetrating oil, put the puller on with some tension and then have somebody pull on the wheel while you hit the steering column shaft with a hammer. but leave the nut on teh shaft just a bit, so when the wheel comes loose, your buddy doesnt smash you window or nothing. be ready to continously put tension on then hit, then repeat.
it'll work evenually.
peace |

Hit from what side? Inside the engine compartment? Seems like 10x more work. Just cut that dam thing off and be done with it, easy and painless. |

duh, hit the stud on the middle of the puller, it "jars" the column and helps breaks the splines free.
tell me how it goes.
I dont cut momo things off, they tend to be rather expensive. |

| i didn't know you need an airbag to pass an out-of-province.. what about older cars w/no airbag? |

| if the car came from the factory with an airbag.. it is technically illegal to take any airbags out. so older cars without airbags.. nothin to worry about |
