Hey Gang Got a question for you. I finally located and bought a 37 steering gear box for my 36 ford in excellant condition. I'm not ready to start on it yet, butI know the steering wheel has to come off. I can't figure out how to remove it. Help me out guy's. Where do I start? Thank You to all who answer. Hal

Hal, I just started the same swap myself. I have the steering wheel off and the steering gear out of the car. I used a 3-bolt puller and wrapped plumbers tape around the three steering wheel spokes. Doesn't sound too tidy but worked with no visable damage to the wheel. If you don't have the horn button with the light switch rod removed yet, be careful when you do. Mine is a two door sedan and I had to remove two bolt from the steering box to frame bracket and the two holding the steering column to the dash. Otherwise, you might bend the light swith tube which runs through the steering shaft. Hope this helps. Terry N

Hal, if you Google "early Ford Steering Swap", there is an article that is pretty helpful.

Cheap Chinese pullers are available. They bolt to the treaded holes in the wheel hub and push on the shaft.,when used, leave the nut on the shaft. Back it off almost to the end before pulling to prevent swedging the hollow shaft, which will ruin the threads.
