Is there a easy way to replace the roller pin in the steering wheel of a Wheelhorse 854

There is a lot of posts here about trying to remove that pin . It can be a real problem sometimes trying to remove it. 

Start with a good penetrating oil and spray it for a few days .

Go to the main page and search for steering wheel pin there's over 450 posts on how to do it.

This may help

The most important thing is that when you are tapping the pin out with a roll pin punch and hammer, that you have a solid, unmovable object behind it acting as an anvil. If the steering wheel or shaft moves even the slightest, the power of the punch is reduced to almost nothing and the pin won't move.

If it will not drive out with a punch & hammer, a 1/4" carbide drill bit will be the only thing that will drill it out.

An air hammer and roll pin bit works pretty well if you have access to one, I borrowed one from Squonk and it was  so easy.

You can park it next to a tree and cut a 2x4 to length to wedge between the tree and steering column to get the support rmaynard is talking about.

PB blaster helped me, but it was a fight. Read others posts, plenty of information on it.
