The first thing you will want to do is setup the movie camera to
film this. Then back the nut off till it's flush with the top of the
shaft, your trying to protect the end of the shaft from flaring and your
face at the same time. Then assume the driving position and place a
knee on either side of the steering wheel in order to put extreme
pressure on the back side of the steering wheel. Check nut again to make
sure it's flush, and take the biggest hammer you have, while exerting
extreme pressure with your knees, smack the end of the steering shaft.

Listers,
What's the secret to removing a steering wheel? I've
tried pulling, and
smacking the column with a hammer, a little PB blaster,
more pulling,
more hammering, more hammering while pulling, and the
thing refuses to
budge. What have I missed? Or am I gong to need to spend
a month at the
gym first?
It's a '79 four spoke wheel, if that makes any
difference.
