[Healeys] Stearing wheel sticky

[David Nock]

This is a very common problem on the non adjustable steering column  
on all the Healeys. I have tried several pullers and non have been  
able to remove the wheel.  What will work is to use a large cresent  
adjustable wrench, open it up so that it fits over the steering  
column then use a large hammer to knock the wheel off hitting the  
side of the crescent wrench NOT the steering wheel.

I have never seen why the wheel will not move but they are always  
that way.
