[alfa] Re: Milano Steering Wheel Pull

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're replacing the headlight/blinker stalk you don't need to 
pull the wheel.  The same may be true for the wiper stalk.

If you still need to take the wheel off, use a cheaper AutoZone (or 
similar) puller with longer grade 8 bolts from a hardware store. 
Drill out the holes in the wheel to accept considerably larger bolts 
than the stock 6mm holes.  If you want to be fancy, you can tap 
threads in your new holes, but that's really not necessary with a 
Milano because you can reach behind the wheel and put nuts on the 
bolts, which work a lot better than trusting threaded holes in the 
wheel anyway.
