Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
I saw it too, actually found it while looking for a spring bushing tool. So far I’ve been able to do all my steering wheels with a modern style puller.

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
I have this similar Steering Wheel Puller, this one manufactured by Winfield Tool Works. It is a great tool and works well. |

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
I'm still kicking myself. Someone had a complete vintage Snap-On puller set that has a very similar KR Wilson-type puller, but a bunch of others for vintage cars for $100. I forgot about it and lost it.

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
The one on Ebay is a BV-21. It differs somewhat from the VZ-194 which is listed in the 1940 KRW catalog for all 39 and earlier cars. Maybe the VZ-194 is an updated version of the BV-21, redesigned for the later Fords and Zephyrs.

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
$399??? Hard to lay out the kind of loot when I've owned a bunch of cars over the years that I paid less for. On the flip side, you tear up an old '40 Ford or banjo wheel and you're probably out $399.

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
I have used a split bearing separator without a problem. It's a lot cheaper than $399!

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
Tom-MI,
Excellent alternative tool. Harbor Freight has this separator for $49.99. Now - if I could find an alternative tool for removing / installing shackle pins for my '33 leaf springs I'd be all set. |

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
I have a BV21, here it is next to a SnapOn puller. The SnapOn has a removable fork and the threaded shank is an acme (square) thread with a rotating head.
After seeing what that KW brought on Ebay I'm thinking I should part with mine! |

I got the snap on one , its a kit in a nice metal case. Neatest thing about it is the chart on the inside of the lid for all the cars it works on. Its got a lot of adapters along with the typical puller that is the same use on harmonic balancers. I also got the snap on kit for ford perch bolts 1928 to 1948 axles. Same deal, the illustration is the coolest part besides what it does |

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
Very cool! Could you take a photo of the chart and send it to me or post it here? All I have is what is in that photo.

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
I'm am still kicking myself. A complete Snap-on puller set went on Ebay for $100. I'm so angry I let it get by me.
The Snap-On version is a better made tool. |

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
Between the two in my photo the SnapOn is definitely more refined and more nicely made. The KRW looks a lot harder to break though. I haven't used either yet, can't comment on functionality.

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
The steering wheel puller lists the newest model car year of 1947.
The other kit is for the perch bolts and king pins |

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
Love it, Skidmarks.
Funny, the perch pin press is identical to the tool they still make. I guess why mess with a good design. Sadly, the new box doesn't have the label. |

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
What is the part number of the perch pin press. If they still make it I want one.

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
Interesting perch pin pusher. I wonder how it would work today now the pins have been in for probably half a century longer. I have a puller tool that I made, but I bet if you used the pusher and puller at the same time it would be easier still.

I can tell you that the Snap-On that pin press/puller we have has not met a pin that can beat it in our little garage. I've used it at least a dozen times. It may start slow, but once it gets movement on the pin, the pin slides out with ease. The pictures don't do it justice. The one we have (newer version -20 years old) is heavy. It must weight 15-20 lbs. It built like a brick poop house. |

Re: KR Wilson Steering wheel puller
That Snap-On Universal Steering Wheel Puller that Skidmarks showed in Post 19 looks to be a great asset in the home garage. |
