Steering Wheel Removal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obtain a 5/8” – 18 x 4” bolt and nut. I get Grade 8.



Sit in the seat of your Cub Cadet Tractor. Place you legs in such a fashion, that you can apply upward pressure with your knees on the under side of the Steering Wheel.

Screw the nut onto the bolt, about 1/2 way. Screw on that assembly, onto the Steering Shaft until it bottoms out. Inspec, that the nut from the above assembly, is NOT resting on the Steering Wheel Hub. There has to be a gap here.



While applying upward pressure with your knees, give the Grade 8 bolt a few whacks with a big hammer. This jarring should release the steering wheel from the shaft..

This is one way of removing the Steering Wheel. There are other methods also. Special fabricated pullers have been used with success.
