Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1963 Mercury Monterey Custom, mercury monterey, center shaft


Question
I am attempting to pullout my dash board, and I can not figure out why I can not pull my steering wheel off of my steering column? I can see two bolts that releases the driving column from the underside of the dash, but I can not figure out how to pull the steering wheel off. I have removed the horn assembly and the 15/16 nut but now I am stuck.
Please Help if you can?

Answer
The best way is to get a steering wheel puller. There are two threaded holes on either side of the center shaft. These holes are for a steering wheel puller. You can either buy one at a parts store like NAPA or rent one from a tool rental place. Some parts houses will also rent tools.
