How do you get the steering wheel off an old CJ5 Jeep? I have a '74 CJ5
that I want to put a new steering wheel on. I have a wheel puller but it
doesn't work on steering wheels this old. I've tried to find out a method
for getting the wheel off when there are no holes in the steering wheel to
screw into. But I'm stuck and so far nobody seems to know how to take off
the old steering wheels. So I thought I would give it a shot here. Anyone
know how you get the steering wheel of an old Jeep when a conventional
wheel puller doesn't work? Oh, and I've already tried the rubber mallet to
the back of the wheel method. That wouldn't do it either.

Put as much upward pressure as you can on it with your knees, put a brass or
AL block on the shaft and run an air hammer on it with a bumping or blunt
chisel. It'll vibrate right off...maybe.
