method 1. steering wheel puller.
method 2 (my Dad has better luck with this than I do). loosen nut holding steering wheel on so it is at the end of the shaft and the threads are protected. Put feet up on something so you can apply pressure to the underside of the steering wheel with your knees. Put a ball peen hammer on the nut, hit it with a 2nd hammer (multiple sharp raps, not a huge blow) and it should knock it loose after a while. Sometimes I will apply pressure to the bottom of the wheel with my knees and pull the top towards me with one hand. Hold ball peen hammer with same hand, and hit with hammer in other hand. sound interesting? it is.
