wheel from the steering column shaft by turning the pressure bolt (C) of the puller. 

Note these items when removing the steering wheel: 

Do not tap on the steering wheel or the steering column shaft when removing the steering wheel.  

If you thread the puller bolts (D) into the wheel hub more than five threads, the bolts will hit the 
cable reel and damage it. To prevent this, install a pair of jam nuts five threads up on each puller 
bolt.
