ABSTRACT:
A method for removing a steering wheel lock using a device having a main body having a center opening and a pair of supporting arms extending outwardly and downwardly. The device further comprises a central shaft extending through the center opening in the main body. The central shaft includes an externally threaded portion and a hook portion extending therefrom for grabbing the steering wheel lock. A crank arm having an internally threaded bore is rotatably mounted to the externally threaded portion of the central shaft. To remove a steering wheel lock from a steering wheel, the crank arm is manually rotated which advances the central shaft in an upward direction which in turn pulls at the grab point of the steering wheel lock while the supporting arms of the main body holds the remainder of the steering wheel lock in place, thereby bending the steering wheel lock. The steering wheel lock may be removed from the steering wheel when it either breaks, or is sufficiently bent to allow the hooks on the steering wheel lock to become disengaged from the rim of the steering wheel.
