that's right
Since you brought it up and we need a highly skilled person with the technical know-how, muscles, and finesse to get the job done we thought of you ...... asking @sideseatdriver if she can help @MiM outHelp @MiM? Sure! Okay, you're going to use one hand, gently until you find the sweet spot, then a bit harder, and a bit harder, and just a bit more until she (or you) pops off. That was easy.

@Trooper, I've got the Slingmods puller and I'll gladly send it to you. I gave up on removing my stock wheel and bought it. After I broke it and they agreed to replace it, I watched the video and figured out I used it upside down. The picture on the ad showed it with the U facing outward. I tried it that way and separated the welded nut from the unit. The video shows it facing inward. When I got the replacement and tried to install it that way, the screws were too short to thread, and I had to dig in the garage for longer screws that would work. They were not exactly the right thread so I'll send you the unit with the supplied screws and you can go from there. It seems like if the screws were too short, people would have complained and they would use longer ones. Maybe most wheels come off easier than mine did. Message me with your address and I'll get it right out.
As for the rest of this thread, My God People! What, or who, are you smoking???

Same here Doug! Last time I screwed... My nut separated... Sucks getting old! -
You guys know that you can barrow one free of charge from Autozone or Advanced Auto. You pay for the tool (in this case $20.00) then they refund you when you return it. I borrow all kinds of specialty tools. Last one was a coil compressor so I can paint the coil overs red.

Yeah @SlingLow, we want pics! Its always easier to do an install with pics, right? What were you people thinking?
If they are the good pictures he might not even make it to the install.

Just went thru the experience of pulling my steering wheel, so it's time to rant!
Hey, Polaris, remember you used Metric threads just about everywhere else on the Slingshot, IIRC, so why were 10-32 threaded holes used on the steering wheel meaning none of the normally available steering wheel pullers can work? RANT over.
You'll need two 3" - 10-32 screws. 2/5" might work, but 3" gives some leeway.
I first went to Oreilly and rented their steering wheel puller because it looked like it could accommodate a wide variety of steering wheel bolt sizes. Unfortunately, it didn't include 10-32 screws ( I won't dignify Polaris' choice as a bolt). Also, the "H"-shaped pulling piece was too wide for the 10-32 crews to be inserted, so I had to return it unfinished.
Fortunately, the OEM brand Steering wheel puller I got from Autozone, while it lacked the needed size screws, was narrow enough to allow both 10-32 screws to be attached to the steering wheel. I used fender washers so the 10-32 screw heads didn't fall thru the puller arms and had to bend a portion of each fender washer to clear the puller bolt.
