Pulling steering wheel

[Jacob Kinsela]

I have a 1998 k1500. I am trying and oh do I mean TRYING!! To replace the turn signal switch. I went to pull the steering wheel after removing the airbag and come to find that I have no bolts to fit in it. Does anyone know what size thread or pitch these bolts are that go through the actual puller and bolt into the steering wheel?

This is the puller (OEM brand #25053) that I used on my 98. I don't remember which bolts it used, but here is what came with the kit.

You may just try renting one from a parts store.

Bumping up an old thread but I have the same problem - I need bolts for the puller to bolt to the wheel and don't know what size to buy and everything else I have at hand is metric.
Can anyone tell me the size and thread of the bolts needed?
TIA.

Did you ever figure it out? I think they are 5/16 " coarse threads or 3/8" coarse threads, haven't pulled one in a while so l don't remember better

Eventually!
I ordered a puller and it came with appropriate bolts. Pulled the wheel only to find no adjustment possible - so going to try and rectify this today at the steering box input shaft.

They should be 5/16-18 bolts

Well @Midnight_Mechanic_22, welcome to your first post at the forum.

BUT, that/this thread is 4 years old. You will likely only get my response back.
