Kubota steering wheel

I need to replace the voltage regulator on my b8200. I have taken all the dash bolts out and now am fighting the steering wheel. I have the nut and lock washer off, and have sprayed it with pb blaster. I have been prying on one side of the base of the steering wheel while hitting the opposite side with a rubber mallet. I have been rotating the wheel and doing this in different spots. It's not budging. I did post a long time ago about this, but that was a year ago and I forgot! If any of you Kubota experts could point me in the right direction I sure would appreciate it ! I did Google it and they basically said to do what I am already trying.
 
Have you tried doing a search for your post? You can search by user name or topic, you may be able to find it. I think you have to use modern view.

If the wheel has a steel hub drill/tap a 5/16 hole on each side and use a puller. Leave the nut on flush with the st. shaft so you don't screw up the threads.
 
Not specific to any brand, but general steering wheel removal...

Loosen the nut until flush with the end of the shaft.

Add some penetrating oil to the splines.

Get in a position to put your knees under the wheel, using your lower leg muscles push up and rock the wheel side to side while...

Using a brass or aluminum drift and a big hammer, hit the end of the shaft.

Remember to leave the nut on but even with the end of the shaft. Two reasons, it will protect you from bodily injury when it lets go, and removing the nut will clean the damaged threads from the beating.
 
300 jk We have a special puller at the shop but before that here is what worked for years for me. Take and back the nut up to flush on the end of the shaft. Get a hammer and small short brass punch. Punch needs to be as big around as the nut. Now here is the trick. Sit in the seat, if you are a short guy may need small blocks on the floorboard but you take both legs right about the knew and put all the pressure upwards you can on the steering wheel. While you are putting that pressure take the hammer and brass and strike the end of the shaft. Most times it will pop right loose. Done a lot of B 8200s that way.
 
Steve you and I must have been writing at the same time.. Glad you reinforced my posting. Most times it worked well for me.
 
I got er! After I posted I did almost exactly what you and steve@advance suggested ! Took a little bit but it's off. It's not charging and I had the alternator or dynamo checked( not sure of the proper term because it is of the magnet type) and it checked out good. I have heard the regulators were an issue on these. Am I correct ? Are there problems with the aftermarket ones or should I go right to the dealer. I don't want to do this again in the near future !
 
Do a google search on "bearing splitter".
You can get them cheap online or at Harbor Freight.
Most steering wheels have enough space underneath
So you can use a bearing splitter with a two-jaw gear puller.
No broken parts that way.
 
Unfortunately mostly plastic. I did just get it though. Almost gave up, for the day but it's off now and I can get my parts coming ! Thank you !
 
Bingo.

Always works for me.

Sometimes I pull upward with both hands as forcefully as I can while a helper hits the end of the shaft with a piece of hard brass and 2 1/2 Lb. hammer.

Of course, you must leave the nut on (loose) so as to not fall on your butt.
