get out the sawsall and cut a slit in it, then use a flat head screw driver and open it up a little and pull off.

or how bad are the threads on the part? use a plate of metal and drill 3 holes at the same spots as the threads and use the bolts and tighten them down little by little and it should start pulling it off, or run to the auto parts store and rent the puller from them.

Can ya take some pics of what's behind that block?
I've got a short in my horn circuit and I believe there's a ring contact or something behind there that connects the horn on the wheel to the wiring on the column.

Cheers.

Is there any reason you can't just rent a puller from Advance? If you return it it won't cost you anything, and that's what it's designed to do. Am I missing something?
