Does anyone have a steering wheel puller I could borrow?

Trying to get the steering wheel off my Td5, but it really, REALLY does not want to come off! I've doused it in PlusGas, left it for half an hour, whacked it from every possible direction, yanked it as hard as I possibly can without injuring myself and it will not budge. I could just buy one off eBay, but it's one of those things that you only really need once!

So if anyone has one that they'd be willing to post to me, and I can then post back once I've used it?

My method was to undo the nut so it almost off, and then from behind hit the wheel at 12 o'clock 12:30 and quarter to and quarter past and then repeated then work backwards quarter to, 12:45 , 12:30 12:15 etc.
Sorry no puller

excossack - thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried and tried 'til I'm blue in the face and it just won't budge at all.

Chris - you have a PM - thanks

Have you tried getting someone to pull the wheel towards the interior and giving the shaft a smart hit in the opposite direction? (avoiding damaging the treads or anything else I would use an alloy or copper drift in the centre of the shaft when I did this) DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

maybe you tried this already

loosen nut but leave on few thread , sit in drivers seat put hands each side of wheel and with your weight pulling on the wheel , rock the wheel from side to side (not turning the wheel )

so weight of pull lifting you out of seat is on one side then the other

straighter your arms are the better (not so easy in a defender to get your arms straight )

This summer I bought a new steering wheel and to be sure I had the right steering boss I changed the steering wheel in the parking lot.

First loosen the nut as much as possible but leave it on. As a tool I used two bolts and two big washers to pull on the steering wheel. Tighten, pull a bit and thighten more etc. Martin
