    I take that back about needing a steering wheel puller Embarassed

    I always take my wheel off when working on the dash - as it only gets in the way...so I regularly take the wheel off Shocked Rolling Eyes

    I think a quality Philips driver and a flat blade are all that you need.

    It's not glass - but just as fragile .... acrylic plastic or similar - fractures and splinters really easy Crying or Very sad
