This is a very common problem on the non adjustable steering column
on all the Healeys. I have tried several pullers and non have been
able to remove the wheel. What will work is to use a large cresent
adjustable wrench, open it up so that it fits over the steering
column then use a large hammer to knock the wheel off hitting the
side of the crescent wrench NOT the steering wheel.
I have never seen why the wheel will not move but they are always
that way.
