I agree with Pete on the bracing to allow for a solid hit with a 3 LB Hammer. DO buy a decent set of Roll Pin Punches, not some "soft" look-alike made of inferior (Chinesuim) material...

I'll second that having bought the cheap set first.

When I bent that almost immediately,  I went right back on the fleeebay and ordered a vintage USA 🇺🇸  made set.

Air chisel, no bracing or beating with a hammer.

This is the way, roll pin comes out in seconds.

Is there some kind of adapter for the roll pin punch to correctly fit into the air chisel??

I just cut the end off a old chisel and welded a socket to it

I assume you want a socket that fits the shank of the right punch? Sounds like that would be a 7/32 punch for a C-160 steering wheel roll pin. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

I used a 1/4

Looks like this would be a good solution instead of fabricating socket / pin punch?

I do want the roll pin punch and NOT the drift pin punch correct?

1/4 inch good to go? One of the wheels is off a C-160 other is my C-120. I assume they are the same?

Its made in USA so should be good steel.

I removed a wheel from a 1974 C160 and a 1984 GT1100 with the same 1/4" roll pin punch. 

The pins I ordered are 1/4" diameter. 

Seems good.
