Sometimes this will work.....sit in the drivers seat. Tuck your knees behind the steering wheel and push towards you, at the same time tap the shaft with a hammer. Be careful not to damage the threads. You could put a block of wood on the splined shaft and hit that. Make sure when it comes off that your not in it's path!

Spray with a penetrating oil then do the previous post method. Worked for me.

Might sound stupidbut... take off the nut and sit in the seat and bang on the sides ( of the steering wheel) with your fists like your a gorilla banging a drum start slow and then go crazy . Works every time : )

The way I removed mine is too run the nut off until it's flush with the top to protect the threads. I use this method if I don't have a brass or nylon hammer to protect the threads.

I then do as instructed above and pull on the wheel while rapping on the shaft/nut.
