    To save you the effort hit yourself with a bat in the face then drive round mine and we will get it off.

    Re: how to remove steering wheel

    The trick is to not pull, it won't go anywhere. you need to whack it from behind on opposite sides in turn. In other words, with your palm or a rubber hammer you need to hit the outer edge of the steering wheel from behind, left hand side then right hand side repeatedly until it free's off. Leaving the nut on a couple of turns will save a lot of pain, as mentioned.
