[TR] TR4 Steering wheel Removal

[Andrew Mace]

On the TR4 column, probably all you'd need to do is a: exactly what
you've done with the nut, keeping it on enough so as not to damage some
very fragile threads, and then b: have someone center a suitable drift
slightly smaller than the column and tap it with a hammer while you
pull on both sides of the wheel. Generally, it takes only a couple of
taps to loosen a wheel on these columns, and you shouldn't need a
puller at all! (In fact, sometimes just the pulling on it is enough to
free it.)

Any suggestions on removing a wooden aftermarket steering wheel from a
TR4.  I
have the nut undone and just threaded back on the shaft to protect from
pulling the wheel off and smacking me in the face (don't ask me how I
learned
this).
