aye for defs. Mines was the same. I was pulling and battering for ages then all of a sudden it just slipped off.

 

Try 2 People Battering And Pulling It At The Same Time

 

Two Legged Puller

 

Last time I refitted a Nova steering wheel I coated the splines of the column with lithium grease in the hope it would make it easier to get off next time.

Never needed to take it off again before I sold it so no idea if it helped or not lmao

 

A little tip for ya, when you've loosened the nut that holds the steering wheel on, don't remove it completely, leave it on a few turns, that way when you do get the steering off, you won't smack yourself in the face lmao

 

mine was a pain so in the end took it to vauxhall cost a £10 and took 2mins and they fitted my new one

 

steering wheel puller - wont cost much more than a tenna im sure, ive got one... so handy, even if you want to take the clocks out or anything, just whip the wheel of and its alot easier

 

just keep pulling, it will come. but if u do enjoy having teeth leave that nut on a turn or 2.
for some reason they always go back on easier!!

 

When you undue the nut leave it on a few turns and get a long punch(metal type) and place it on top of the colum/inside the nut and smack it with a hammer, never fails and it wont damage your threds.

 

steering wheel puller -

see i thought that,
so i got a draper puller,
well they dont line up with the nova holes,
the nova holes r deeper down than most,
the puller works on a cav,astra and things but not a nova...
