8MILELAKE Steering Wheel Puller and Lock Plate Compressor Kit — Heavy-Duty Blow-Mold Case, Universal Threads

The 8MILELAKE Steering Wheel Remover and Lock Plate Compressor Set is a complete, workshop-ready kit for safely removing steering wheels and compressing lock plates across most passenger vehicles and trucks.

This heavy-duty tool set combines a universal steering wheel puller, lock plate compressor, a forcing screw, multiple cap screws to match thread variations, and a sturdy blow-mold storage case. Built for professional mechanics and DIY technicians, the kit is sized and configured to tackle telescoping and tilt steering columns without needing extra adapters. All components are organized for quick access and durable use in busy garages.

How does this kit remove steering wheels on different vehicles?

The kit uses a proven forcing screw plus interchangeable cap screws to fit a wide range of hub thread sizes, allowing the puller to exert controlled, even pressure on the wheel hub. The included steering wheel puller muscles the wheel off the splined shaft without damaging the wheel or column.

• One heavy-duty forcing screw creates central pressure to push the hub free.
• Four sets of cap screws cover most thread pitches and bolt patterns.
• Puller design prevents uneven levering that can bend splines or rims.
• Works on many vehicles with telescoping or tilt steering columns.

What does the lock plate compressor do, and when should I use it?

The lock plate compressor safely compresses the retaining ring and lock plate assembly so you can access the ignition switch, turn signal locks, or column internals. Use it whenever the retaining ring needs to be relaxed for removal or reinstallation, particularly during electrical or steering column repairs.

• Compresses lock plates evenly to avoid spring damage.
• Maintains alignment so components reinstall correctly.
• Reduces risk of parts launching or deforming under spring tension.
• Compact footprint fits into tight steering column spaces.

Which fasteners and accessories are included to fit different thread requirements?

The set contains a selection of cap screws—five sets total—that match common hub and column bolt threads, plus the single forcing screw that powers the puller. This assortment minimizes the need to source additional hardware when moving between vehicle makes and models.

• Five cap screw sets covering common diameters and pitches.
• One robust forcing screw built for repeated use.
• Hardware organized in molded cavities for quick selection.
• All components hardened or treated to resist wear in workshop environments.

How is the kit stored and transported between jobs?

All components come in a blow-mold case designed to protect tools and keep them organized in transit or on the shop bench. The case snaps shut and has designated slots for each piece so you won’t lose small cap screws on-site.

• Blow-mold case resists impacts and spills in the work truck.
• Custom-molded cavities hold each screw and tool securely.
• Compact footprint for easy storage in tool chests or bags.
• Case keeps matching hardware grouped to speed job changeovers.
