> Can anyone decipher what engine that kit is for?

> 2. I've been trying to get my steering wheel off for more than a week to

> hard. I've regularly been hitting the center puller bolt with a hammer, 
> hitting the sides of the wheel with a rubber mallet, pulling on the 
> wheel, and as much as you can put on a wheel that's almost vertical 
> soaking it in Kroil. Any other suggestions?
