How does the Deluxe steering wheel come off on a 1955 Chieftain? I don't want to break the chrome horn ring trying to remove it. Thanks.

Do you twist the horn button counterclockwise until it pops off revealing screws that hold the trim ring on? Or The horn button is held on by spring clips on each side even with the trim cross bar. Use a trim pry bar (screw driver) to gently pry the button off.

It is a two bolt puller. You can use just about any aftermarket puller. This is what the block part looks like:

And this one would work. You can probably get it at just about any parts store.

Thanks. Looks like an ordinary wheel puller. I was afraid it was the old type puller. I haven't seen one of those since the 1960's.
