steering wheel puller
one of these two types of puller should work, the two holes on the steering wheel should accept the long bolts.

Remember to leave the shaft nut on
Hi
Comment on the steering wheel puller. Loosen but do not remove the nut on the top of the steering shaft when you first start to tighten the puller to keep the end of the steering shaft from curling or bulging. I have seen this happen and it is a real mess to get the wheel off and clean up the threads on the shaft. I have one just like what is pictured. I learned from watching my brother mushroom the end of a steering shaft on a Model A Ford. In the end up drilling the end of the threads out till they came off with the wheel then welding a new threaded section on to the shaft. The problem may have be unique to Model A's but I never wanted to find out. Cheers Phil

Jacek,
Yes, the original seals were cork. The Filling Station in the US are able to supply these. Most parts suppliers offer replacements in Neoprene rubber though, so it might be easier to get those. I bought rubber ones off Ebay UK. I think Chevrolet switched to rubber in post-war production as well (?)

Thanks Alex, I think I will order cork ones to be as close to original as possible.
I want to order also gasket set for the engine from them. I think part no. FS-181 is correct one for my engine.

FS-181 should indeed be the correct gasket set for your engine. I think you will need a puller to remove your steering wheel, but I am just guessing here as I also still have to remove mine. Is your horn button still in one piece? Alex
