Stuck Steering Wheel, HELP
Purchased a new wheel for the boat just because it looks better, however, I have tried everything I know to do but the old wheel will not budge. I have ---
Pulled my arms out of joint
Pried with a large screwdriver
Applied WD40
Beat with a hammer.
Used a puller (broke one of the arms)
Called a Mechanic (waste of time) he said seems to be stuck. Duh
Lubed this time with WD40, sweat, and tears. Still no luck
Anything else anyone can think of please let me know.

It will be a two person job. On person to apply a force to the wheel in the direction to be pulled off while the other strikes the center of the steering shaft with a hammer & punch..

Someone told me a long time ago when I was trying to get a stuck wheel off that all you have to do is grab it like a man and pull it off. I've found that to be true for the last 15 or so years but I will say I've come really close to knocking myself out a few times when it let loose...
