DIY: Salvage Yard steering wheel removal w/o proper tools

[Hick]

better yet.... if you forgot your 22mm at home; see if the factory spark plug tool is in the trunk. Pound that f'er on with a hammer, turn with a screw driver (through the holes), BAM, mtech1/2

I found a wheel i wanted at the PNP today (as well as a bunch of stuff i pulled off a 91 325IS) anyway, the key was in this car and I didn't have the right tools to actually pull this damn thing.

so i went and bought a 22mm socket from a mexican for 4 bucks.
then realized i didnt have a socket wrench with a big enough grabber to use the damn thing

so i took the adjustable crescent, bit into the socket... drilled a larger hole into the end of it, hammered in a 6inch extension, which i then connected into the 4inch extension THEN into the socket wrench for more leverage....

and went to town, successfully pulling the wheel off


cool story eh bro?
