Steering wheel removal thanks!



Once again, a visit to the local lucky "leprechaun" proved enough to solve my
Alfa woes.
The gentleman (he knows who he is!), applied the Alfa steering wheel tool,
apparently not made for GTV6's although the shaft did fit within the loosened
nut on the steering column, loaded it like hell, then banged on it with a
sledge until she budged.  Took only a couple of minutes.
For those of you attempting this as well, a basic steering puller like the one
I had might've worked, but it was a bit wide to fit _inside_ the
base/cylinder.  Mine therefore needed to rest above the wheel, necessitating
longer bolts, thereby causing the assembly to wobble a bit, not a good
situation if you're going to nail it with a big hammer.

Cheers,
Darren
