I need help trying to pull off this hub... I never had a steering wheel when I bought this 85 regal because the dude said I jus needed and aftermarket wheel since it's an aftermarket hub.. i have the original wheel but it doesn't fit my column.. can some one let know know either 1. How to remove it or 2. Which aftermarket steering wheel would fit?

Do you own a wheel puller? I would squirt a little penetrating oil in around the shaft and attach a wheel puller to the hub. Maybe also remove that straight flathead head screw.

We also appreciate when new members introduce themselves before asking questions.

Well I'm strollie 21 years old i come from Lancaster California. I own a 1985 Buick Regal Limited. 3.8 v6 under the hood. I'm still building it I jus need my pumps dumps batteries and of course steering wheel this is stopping me from doin my thing lol. I had a puller but it didn't work and I was thinking maybe a harmonic balancer?

Welcome aboard Strollie!
I would think a good puller would do the trick. Maybe try one that has jaws that would fit around the three arms.
Do you mean bolting a harmonic balancer to the hub and trying to pull the balancer attached to the hub? That might be doable if you can get the balancer connected firmly to that hub. I can't say I've ever seen a steering wheel hub like that one before. It still needs to come off.
Was there a wheel on it when you got the car?

Might be a hub for a Grant wheel? As Longroof said, try to get some lube on the shaft because it looks a bit crusty. A puller usually comes with various size bolts for pulling and aren't too expensive if you want to try that again.....other than that I could only suggest very carefully trying to pry a little at a time at various points around the hub?

You could also go with another column.

I'm partial to the look and feel of wood and chrome wheels. Dark color stain and chrome would look great in my interior. That or a burgundy t type wheel with the buick horn emblem.

Steering wheel pullers are relatively inexpensive

And that looks like the Grant adapter that would be included in their installation kit for many of their steering wheels.
