Can anyone help me .. need to remove a steering wheel from a 2007 JCB 550/170. I was hoping to find a video but no luck. Hoping someone in this forum can help me. Thanks in advance!

Pop the plastic JCB cover off with a screwdriver. Use a 22mm or 24 mm and loosen the nut. Back it off till it's still on two threads. Get your very strong assistant in there and lift hard on both sides of the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock.. they're tight but that's the way to get it off.

Thank you will give it a try!

Remove the nut and put an air chisel with a dull pointed tip on the center of the shaft. Apply upward pressure on the steering wheel and rattle the shaft with the chisel at the same time. Never has failed for me.

I like to loosen the nut and wiggle/pull the wheel off. DO NOT remove the nut just loosen it.
