Editor's Notes

November 20, 2019:

A good steering wheel puller set is absolutely necessary if you're a mechanic or just like to fix your own cars. Given the design of automotive pulleys and gears, you'll often be able to use one set to remove them all.

For that reason, its usually worth investing in sets like the OTC 7984 and the Alltrade 648748. They both include special lock plate removers that you'll need for many GM wheel configurations. The appeal of a set like the Ares 71000 is the different forcing tips and the wide range of bolt sizes they come with. This will come in handy when working on uncommon makes and models.

Working on cars and their engines is inherently dangerous. As such, all relevant safety precautions should be observed.
