Make sure you get the correct puller that lines up with the holes correctly, there are a few different kinds. There was no way in hell I was pulling off the wheel on my 95 without it.

What is a clock spring and what does it do?
As far as the steering wheel, I just put the nut on, take my knees push up on the steering wheel and tap the nut.

The clockspring lets an electrical circuit run down the steering shaft while rotating with the wheel without getting tangled up. Normally airbags, horns, cruise, and audio controls on the steering wheel require one.

Thanks I never had a problem with one, an the steering wheel, I said tap the shaft not hammer it, I got alot of wheels off this way w\o any damage, until I actually got a puller.
