OK. This is a dumb question but I could not figure it out and I did not want to break anything so I figured I would consult with the experts.
I need to replace the main wire harness on the 154 (wires started to fall out of sockets and crumble). So I started to disassemble the dash so I would have easy access prior to the harness arriving and ran into a problem removing the steering wheel.
I removed the nut and washer holding it on and thought “man this will be easy†. Big mistake for thinking! I then tried to remove the steering wheel and it would not budge. Worked on it for a minute but decided against possible causing bigger problems.
So my question is should the steering wheel just slide off, screw off or do I need to get a steering wheel puller?
Thanks for putting up with the dumb question.
Chad

Chad: I have no experience with 154 but on a regular cub the steering wheel is held in place by a key which fits in a groove. You might try applying a penetrant for a day or two. A set of pullers should then allow its removal. I usually place a block of wood on the underside of the hub and tap it to loosen the wheel. Dan

Chad,
This isn't a 154, but the idea should be the same. It's hard to find a way to use a puller on a steering wheel with covered spokes. This is how I got the steering wheel off my 1941 Ford 9N. There was no damage to the covering at all, as there would have been from using heat or impact.
I used a long piece of aircraft cable to make the wrap to distribute the force. I was successful removing the wheel that probably hadn't been off for more than 63 years.

Chad I have seen the wheel removed by wedging your knees up under the wheel thread the nut to flush with the top of the shaft and using a lead hammer or something that will not marr the threads tap on the end of the shaft. That 154 had been sitting out for a few years and it can off fairly easy after a few solid blows. Good luck Steve
