anyone get any ideas on removing my steering wheel without a puller? iv tried pullin it but its not having it lol

None! trust me, I've tried! You can buy a puller for like 15 quid from ebay.
Best bit of kit you ever bought!

Loosen nut so it is flush with the shaft.
knees behind steering wheel to take the pressure
then 3 good strikes on the nut with a hammer
and off it pops. Remove nut then wheel is free.

Sorry mate must have missed your posting.

what kind of hammer is best? and actually hit the nut itself?or the spindle inside it?

Hit the nut and top of the shaft. They will be sitting flush so you don't damage the threads.
2lb mash hammer or a heavy ball pein hammer will do nothing to heavy.

ok il give it a go...cheers.

Did you manage to lower the car?

yeh i did mate..

It can be done...make the nut flush with the threads and smash it with a hammer whilst pulling with your legs

i will try this soon,do i actually hit the nut itself? and do i need a soft hammer like a mallet? or a normal claw type one do? lol

Hit the nut with a decent hammer not a small toffee hammer.

yeh but i dunno if i need a metal hammer or a rubber mallet type thing? lol

Metal hammer mate. A heavy ball pein type will do (2lbs)
