Default Maybe somebody here knows

"Chas" fired this volley in
:

Strike the top of the bolt with a 2 lb hammer. Several blows
might be required, but it will loosen the steering wheel. I am
assuming the steeting wheel has a tapered fit.

I wish that OR a puller would work on my '68 Deutz, but I've tried
every year for the last five to get it off to no avail. Too much
banging on the shaft is not a good thing, since it's hard-shafted
right into the power steering unit.

Nobody around here has got a wheel with the right splines, anyway, so
I'll have to order one from neverland, if I ever get the old one off.

I've cooked it, I've Kroil'd it, I've frozen it, and I've made a
custom backup flange with bolt pullers. It just won't move.

And no... it's not cross-pinned.

It looks like some careful "machining" with the blue wrench is called
for.
