The 3 screws inside are what mount the horn ring and have nothing to do
with mounting the wheel. I'm assuming you've not removed the horn
ring. You must first remove the adjustment hub and then the horn ring
assembly. If you've removed everything, including the center nut, the
wheel should come off with some force. However, if it's cracking, the
wheel is on there pretty good an you may need to use a steering wheel
puller. Have you tried spraying penetrating oil around the center
shaft? The only thing that holds the wheel onto the shaft is the
center nut (large, flat 1" nut).
