Steering Wheel Puller

Post by LurkinLimey »

Hi Everybody,
Trying to get my '68 Sport Satellite ready for a possible visit to the Euro Nats and my Turn Signal Lever has flopped down so it won't operate the turn signal switch.
Seems like the only way to get at the switch in the column to tighten it back up is to pull the steering wheel, but I don't have the Steering Wheel Puller tool (Mopar C-3428).
Anybody know where I can buy / borrow / beg this tool in short order, or know of any other way to re-attatch the turn signal lever?
Any help appreciated,
Limey

I used a cheapo eBay one on my Belvedere- worked fine. Might be able to get next day delivery on one?

Or not too hard to make your own with two bolts and a sturdy bit of metal....it's not that firmly pressed on (not like a pitman arm for example)

I have used this one from ebay. Does the job and its cheap. I Have also had a problem with the indicator going floppy. The screw that holds it to the switch was all stripped for me, got a new one and it seems like its a common problem with them. Watch out and dont over tighten it.

Excellent! Thanks for the help guys.
Ordered the eBay item - Thought I needed a specific puller for Mopars.
Managed a temp fix by turning the screw through the aperture in the column with long nose pliers about a 16th of a turn at the time - took about an hour.
All the Best,

I Found the bolts supplied with that ebay one are not the exact same as the mopar wheel threads, but they very easily thread a little bit of the way on, and easily pull the steering wheel off. Think ive taken mine off probably a dozen times now with it.
