the key to that is "loosen nut holding steering wheel on so it is at the end of the shaft", and not 'remove nut completely'.
You only need to smack yourself in the forehead with a steering wheel once to learn that part:D
When I was 16 my dad and I were at a wrecking yard picking up parts. He found a perfect steering wheel for his dart of course we had no wheel puller with us. I climb in the car (no interior) pull the horn ring and nut off then grab a hold of that wheel, braced my feet and pulled for all I was worth. Dad gives it a whack with the hammer and I damn near ended up in the trunk of that old dart.
