wj are deep small area centre with no pull holes , made of alloy ,
the two prong ones are not good to use , (I can only buy the cheap nasty bolt breaking type here) if you ever seen the fx fj holden type , or the ones that have a bar with hook poles that run strait without wobbling

must be that time of the month! ill see if bursons has got the correct pully , and get them to deliver , wheel ? buggered if I know ,

Wah Wah Wah. Should I call you a wahmbulance.
Sorry but seriously if you got in straight away most of those mentioned would post. If you have an online manual it should show the breakdown of the steering column. Not sure if there would be a crush tube up the top, often they have shear pins to perform the collapsing motion but im not sure what jeep do and I wouldnt have thought a puller of any sort would stuff up the shaft. The hammer trick might work now it is stuffed maybe nothing to lose.

Did you look on wjjeeps to see if there is a section on wheel removal. Im sure if you google someone will have posted about it somewhere.

yes fester I did,
I bought a puller , not from this town and its the correct one, the tube doesn't looked crushed , only the top section moves , the wheel is coming from Melbourne , courier tomorrow , that's not the problem the problem is getting a puller not some cheap crapy chinese soft metal made thing, and sometimes I would prefer to give money to either a club , or a family member or a forum , not to fleebag , a wrecker that make money , I have the money , but dam if I can find someone around here that needs it , no no no only the type who sit , and think they should be paid to do so , sure I could get parts from QLD , NSW, or a state , but it is really bad when you order from your own state and it takes 10 days to reach , like I said before , it took me 7 days to get a set of tyres from the depot , where the driver was too busy sitting at the pub gambling his next weeks pay and the flippen things were only one and a half hour away ! so yeah it kinda pisses me off a little when I order and AU post take 10 day min from the same state. but I guess that's what you get when the CEO is a Irishman , just like QUANTAS to be sur to be sur

turns out to be the splines if they don't slide in the wheel will not go down all the way splines get crushed and makes it very hard to remove , so it was buggered the first time round , and second to boot , it has now cost me 610 dollars in second hand parts 150 for the wheel , 150 for another column 183 for the clock spring 30 odd for the new puller (and the correct one to do it with) and the delivery cost to get it here . yes the splines when not slid in correctly BIND UP and make it near fused in and very hard to remove. so when you try to remove when like this it pulls the whole shaft stuffing it completely . so next time when doing a wheel be sure be sure to line it up correctly and check that the splines are good . mine broke the pully tool I used and striped the cup ends on the wheel (the two spaces where the tool should pull it from) , YES it was on that hard.
