    Replacing steering wheel

    So I have replaced the steering wheel on my vr4 and need to adjust the alignment. I need a special tool called a steering wheel puller, what size of puller do I need or does it not matter for my vehicle?

    You really don't need a puller. Just loosen the nut and leave it a few threads at the end of the shaft and yank the fuck out of the wheel. It will come loose.

    As he said, make sure the bolt is someone still on. If it's off you'll most likely loose a few teeth

    That method works fine, I did make a little "puller" out of a short section of 1" box steel, 2 drilled holes, and 2 bolts. Pops right off without any drama.

    My issue is the wheel is not straight. To solve this I took my wheel off, and I need to rotate the bolt on the shaft that the hub sits on to get it fixed so the wheel will be uniform on the vehicle. I got the wheel off, just need to get the tools to take the interior apart to get to what i need.

    Wrong way to solve the problem.

    You should have disconnected at the rack, centered the wheel and reconnected the rack
