I was planning on replacing the seal on the fan side of the main shaft but I am having some trouble getting the fan hub.

For now, I have applied some penetrant liquid on it and I will let it soak some time, but then, what is the best way to get it off.

Lightly prying it off going around? I guess that a puller would be useful, but I only have a very large puller that does not fit there. Can I apply some heat in trying to get it off?

Any other tricks or advice?

Thanks

Buy a steering wheel puller.

I use the shit out of mine but almost NEVER for steering wheels!

"Load it up" and smack the side of the flange with a brass drift and hammer to shock it loose...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) EZ button for sure. Prying and other "methods" may work, but the possible damage isn't worth it
