GMCman 0 #1 Posted July 25, 2011 hey guys i am currently restoring a Cub Cadet 100 but there arnt any good fourms for cubs so i thought i would come here. I cant get my strearing wheel off. It has a hollow pipe that is threaded that someone cut off. im guessing that they used a puller and it mushroomed out. Can someone help me please :woohoo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,571 #2 Posted July 25, 2011 If the hollow pipe extends thru the steering wheel hub, take a fine tooth bimetal sawzall blade in a blade holder and manually cut through the inner wall of the pipe, stopping just before you touch the threads in the wheel hub. knock inward with a cold chisel at the cut section of the hollow pipe and the pipe will eventually collapse inside the hub and break off large sections of pipe out of the hub. If not, cut another slot opposite the first slot and knock in again. Some tedious work, but it will can save the steering wheel. I believe there are some similar posts here about using that same basic technique for removing the exhaust port close fitting in a kohler engine block.

CasualObserver 3,411 #3 Posted July 25, 2011 The common method is the first described here. I've used it on both Cubs and JDs with 100% success. http://cubfaq.com/steeringremove.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
