I found a way to make an easy puller for the GTV6. Sears has a nice small
steering wheel puller, but the ears are too big to be inserted into the
steering wheel. If you can find long threaded 6m rod, no worries, use as is.
However by simply grinding off about 1 inch from the pullers 'ears' you can
easily use 3" 6m bolts as the puller will fit into the wheel. Puller also
works for Milano/75 this way. Haven't tried it on anything else. 
Sears Part #: 00941833000 - 19.95 USD.
