My steering wheel is not standard and when it was put on it was not straight so when i am goin in a straight line the steering wheel is not and it really pisses me off.
The problem is that i cannot get the steering wheel off no matter how hard i try pulling on it.
Can anybody suggest anything, i have a vauxhall puller but that only works on the original steering wheels
thanks guys

there are several different kinds of puller. take a trip down to halfords as a last resort, their stuff is quite expensive, but they do do 2 and 3 legged pullers

u take the right spannar to tighten it up
they loosen it u make it straight and tighten it up again

I'm having the same trouble with the steering wheel in the Nova, it as old as the earth and its not a standard steering wheel and its a bitch, won't budge at all.
Do I need one of these pullers to pull it off?

mine was the same. A total bitch. I just sprayed loads of wd40. left it for a good few hours. Came back to it after a few beers. Had a stress head on and managed to get it off.
My trusty rubber mallet came in handy.
