I’ve taken the bolt out of steering wheel now it won’t come off I have whacked it a couple of times with a rubber mallet upwards but it hadnt budged is there something else to loosen ?
If the steering wheel is stuck after removing the bolt on an MTD with part number 247.270190, apply upward pressure on the wheel while gently tapping the steering shaft from below with a rubber mallet. Use penetrating oil at the shaft connection if needed. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damage.
