I am trying to remove my steering wheel (to get the instrument cluster out to fix the odometer gear). Anyway, have the 24MM bolt off and the wheel will not budge. I have an air bag wheel.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

OK, posting solution in case anyone else runs into this problem, had to rig some bracing (used two large/long breaker bars) behind and across the wheel and then used a gear puller (with out arms - just the arm attachment points pusing against two breaker bars) to pull the wheel off. It took enough force that the breaker bars were bending before it POPED loose.

Wow..I guess they get stuck after not being removed for a long time? Mine came right off when I took it off to get my instrument cluster out a few months ago. I know it had been off about a year earlier for something so that might be why it wasn't real tight.

I had a friend hold the wheel while i used a breaker bar. When the nut finally came loose, it was immediately easy to turn so I thought I had stripped it.
