How to remove steering wheel on 69 Dart GT

Loosen center nut on steering column, but leave on a few threads so wheel does not fly off and hit you in the face. Take a punch or long bolt and tap with a hammer on center column while pushing up on wheel with your knee, and pulling up with your arm wrapped in the wheel. Tap is the word there. Should pop right up.
Great! thank you for the suggestion. I really appreciate your help.
