This is just a modified puller, like a bearing puller or pulley puller, for automotive uses. Two things. First apply oil or grease to the threads where it goes through, and to the bearing surface. That will make it way easier and help the tool last longer. Next, drape a blanket or such over the items while in use to absorb the high speed projectiles that can happen when things break. Simple additions to the help properly and safely use this tool.

Back in the day, 20 years ago, as a cable splicer when the work was all on copper cables, we had a similar tool called a “Little Giant”. A very heavy duty ached /bowed bracket with two string pulley-like studs on one face, one at each leg, and a pinned ratchet to crank the center threaded rod through. The purpose was to bend the heavy support strand in a V (it was a pusher, not a puller) to get a bit of slack for working on tightly lashed cables. I’m not sure it had the range of your tool, but it would probably be enough. And the ratchet is an easier tool for advancing the screw. We have several in the shop still, you’ve given me fun ideas.

A multi-purpose lithium grease with no Moly in it is best when using in things like wheel bearings, and other roller type bearings. Moly grease is best used for sliding surfaces like threads, slide bearings, truck turntables, etc. The Molybdenum Disulphide actually coats and smooths out the surfaces. In sliding applications this is ok, but can damage roller bearings, causing flat-spots.

The 'bronze washer' is called a bushing - it's essentially acting as a solid lubricant.

This would also be much easier to turn when one end is attached to a steering wheel. Could really get some leverage, instead of fighting against yourself.

For the newer affected models they also deployed a software fix that changes the alarm behavior and, supposedly, makes it impossible to start the car without a key in the ignition. Have to go to a dealer to get that, though, and I am suspicious of its efficacy. And even if it does work that's not going to stop people from making the attempt.

One of the first characteristics of the original Club is that a hype of sorts was built around it, so just the sight of a red bar emerging from the steering wheel of a car was supposed to deter a thief from even breaking into the car to steel it. That was until someone realized sawing the steerig wheel itself and removing the Club was o so easy. Then came the giant steel Frisbee to encapsulate the wheel, and then, stowing away a giant Frisbee was an issue.

I used to repossess cars in the early 80's, but these were not out yet. I never encountered one during my job. But when they did come out, in my experience I realized how pathetic and useless they were. First of all, a sharp rap with a hammer... in the direction of release (parallel with the bar)... they would jump the notches. And the cylinders were just garbage. In fact I picked several of these for fun, to show how easy they were. One time, a friend had bought one for his wife... and when I was about to pick it, he said, "Well that would ruin the present for her, wouldn't it?" Well he was right, I had not thought of that... but on the flip side, by showing how bad they were, I think I was also saving the woman from any false hope her car was safe from theft.

I have one of those. It got really rusty but should clean up on the bench grinder wire wheel. I used to repo cars in the early 80's to 1991. I have a whole bunch of tools from back then. A set of 5 Ford 4 sided wiggles that would start every Ford. There were only 20 different Ford cuts. Your Pinto key could possibly start a Lincoln Town car. The only extra security was the different door keys. I have rings a door and ignition keys that we would use to find the keys and cut copies for the lenders if they didn't have keys. A nice little side hustle to provide after the repo. GM vehicles had pullers to bust off the push in tab that held in the lock cylinder. Before they switched to a retaining torx head screw. But then they invented a 1/2" socket where you would pip off the chrome eared ring, tap the socket on the end and use a breaker bar to twist the lock cylinder like the key would. Also have a few sets of auto jugglers. They weren't very effective. The Toyota and Hondas were easy. Screw a 5lb dent puller into the key cylinder and usually one slam and the cylinder came out. The in dash Ford trucks, vans, as well as early in dash Chevys were all easy. Push the tabs holding the wiring harness to the back of the ignition switch and then pop in a modified replacement switch and fire it up with a screwdriver. The modification was to hacksaw off the key part of the switch leaving the base and wiring contacts. I have a selection of them still. As well as gutted GM cylinders for starting GM cars after you pulled the cylinder. That was probably the most legal fun you could have.......until people started shooting repo men. A friend got lit up with a 22 rifle and took a round in his archilles tendon. He lived but never walked normal again. I quit after that but hung onto bags and boxes of tools. I still have key cutters and a Curtis Pocket Code Key Cutter for cutting keys from the 4 digit dealer code.

I had a friend with one of those who lost her keys and didn’t have a spare for the club. She was panicking about calling a locksmith etc etc. I said no problem and plucked it off with little effort faster than she could with a key. It’s extremely easy and depending on the type of steering wheel and how the club is positioned there are a few ways to do it. A spark plug tool or lug nut tool that slips over the prongs can make it even easier.
