Steering Wheel Lifter

[FurrTrap]

Hi everyone :D

I need to get the steering wheel off to get at the dashboard electrics (which are faulty of course). I can't get the tool. Most car shops only supply Ford etc. I called my local Toyota garage (again, not at all helpful) and they told me such a beastie doesn't exist.

Of course it does, the Haynes manual shows it in operation.

So does anyone know of a part I can order that will lift the steering wheel off a Land Cruiser Amazon 4.2TD 1995 import?

TIA,

Jamie

the only advice i can give is to ring a different dealer - i needed a new wheelarch extension, and i had to order it through toyota, as i couldn't find one 2nd hand. a few dealers said the part had been deleted, and couldnt be sourced from them, another said they'd have to order it from japan. in the end i did find one - they had to order it in (not from japan! :D ), but they did find one. it's probably just a case of whether they can be bothered looking!
