Answer 1

Great Neck / Steering Wheel Lock Plate Remover 47044 This is a upside down U shaped tool with a bolt passing thru a hole in the U. The bolt has a threaded cup that screws onto the shaft threads. A nut is outside the u and when tightened down towards the post pushes that plate down so you can slide out the lock ring. You may also need a 1 inch Allen type bolt to screw down inside the shaft to lock the post in the down position if you have an adjustable in and out steering wheel.auto zone or Advance may have this tool in their "loaners". You buy it and get a full refund with you return it.
