I picked up a generic steering wheel puller from my local NAPA for about
$15. It works just great on the steering wheel on my 54. Just thread in
the bolts, and start cranking on the central "puller" bolt. I didn't have
any problems removing my steering wheel, but some WD-40 or other
penetrating oil might help you out there.

"There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a
sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road.
But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still
get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be
perplexed, though you still get the same soaking. This understanding
extends to everything." -Yamamoto Tsunetomo
