This method would destroy my 73 year old banjo type wheel, but thanks for the input! My fault for not showing a picture, the "spokes" are very frail.

The inside is plastic, it would never take the abuse.

I've been trolling Youtube, and a very similar technique is shown, with pressure applied to the rear of the center of the wheel.

At this point, I am leaning towards an auxiliary horn button in lieu of making a custom jig to accessorize my wheel puller tool.
