yeah.. easy.

Put the nut back on so you dont mess up the threads, just leave the nut at the top of the stud. While pullin on the top of the steerin wheel and using your knees to lift the bottom, whack the center stud with a hammer. It will pop right off there.. I do it all the time, it doesnt hurt anything as long as you have the nut flush with the top or at least protecting the threads..

Default Thumpin...

Okay let me get this correct. Leave the actual wheel attached to the hub, put the nut back on top flush. Then pull on the top with my free hand, while "pulling" the bottom with my knees, and give it a good wack with the BFH?
