Steering Wheel Removal

Alternative to a store bought puller... The OEM wheel has 2 threaded holes ( 5/16 fine thread? I forget ). Measure their center to center distance and drill similar 3/8 holes in a block of steel. Something like 1 inch wide, 1&1/2 long, 1/4 or more thickness. Use this and a couple of bolts to draw the wheel off the shaft.
