'88 ASC Steering wheel removal

[03Mach1]

Hey Guys. Any suggestions or tricks to getting the steering wheel off of my '88 Vert. I have a chilton book but it is referencing a steering wheel removal tool? I believe i also have to depress some pins to remove as well. any suggestions would be a big help.-Mike

I think it should be the same as my 85. There are two ways.

You can get a steering wheel puller, like $10 at autozone.

Or you can unbolt the wheel, sit in the seat and while you are pulling on the wheel really REALLY hard, have a friend whack the end of the steering column with a hammer. The wheel will usually pop right off and you will plant it squarely in your face and break your nose.

Leave the nut on the column by just a few threads and the wheel won't hit your nose.
