To remove the steering wheel on a 1966 Chevrolet, you'll need a steering wheel puller tool. This is a potentially dangerous job and should only be done if you're comfortable working on cars and have the right tools. Improperly removing the steering wheel can damage the steering column or injure you.
Here's a general outline (specifics may vary depending on the model of 1966 Chevrolet):
1. Disconnect the battery: This is crucial to prevent accidental shorts or damage to the electrical system.
2. Remove the horn contact: There's usually a wiring connection for the horn on the steering wheel. Disconnect this carefully.
3. Use a steering wheel puller: This tool is essential to remove the wheel without damaging the steering column. Follow the instructions included with the puller. The puller will usually involve screwing a threaded bolt into the center of the steering wheel to pull it free from the shaft.
4. Be careful of the steering wheel shaft: Once the wheel is loose, carefully remove it from the shaft.
Disclaimer: This is general advice. Always consult a repair manual specific to your 1966 Chevrolet model before attempting this procedure. If you are not comfortable performing this repair yourself, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic.
