    Thread size of bolt holes for steering wheel puller on GTS steering wheel?

    Hi All, I'm needing to remove a GTS steering wheel from what I think is a HQ steering column that is fitted to a street rod. What is the thread size of the two bolts holes to which I'd thread the steering wheel puller to? 15/16 is too big and 3/4 too small and 7mm doesn't seem to fit either. Thanks in advance

    I don't have a wheel handy but my guess would be 5/16th UNF (maybe 5/16th UNC).

    So that means it's between 12/16 and 15/16. 7mm is around 5/16.

    I've been pulling spanners for over 30 years. Never heard of a 12/16 bolt. It will be imperial not metric and from memory it's 1/4 or 5/16.

    This might help you in the future. 6 mm, 8mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm
    .................................................1/4.....5/16.....3/8....7/16......1/2......9/16

    Metric spanners f$%k imperial bolt heads and nuts.

    Yep and the threads don't mix either. 12/16 is actually 3/4 if my maths is correct.
