puller is best bet, just make sure it dont break the plastic ring & electric contacts at the base of the wheel or your horn wont work ever again!

i used a rubber mallet on mine, while trying to use a puller (before i chopped the wheel off with a hacksaw), and the column now has quite a bit of play in it & i nae hit it that hard! Still, was gona replace that too, so don't matter that its fudged!

ad if you can get a puller, if your doing nothing that night/next day, take the nut & ring off the steering wheel, get a can of WD-40 and absolutely cake the column/wheel with it & leave it overnight, then try the puller on it next day, might help free it up a bit

i remember when i wanted to get the wheel off mine, loads ppl told me that u cudnt get a puller for the corsa.....apart from Vaux.

I cant remember but the exact reason, but there was 1.

I used a piece of wood and levered it off, with alot of help from my bro helpin to pull at the same time.

It can easily be done without a puller, just needs a good tapping and pulling by hand.
