Go to your local auto parts store, rent a steering wheel puller. Or just whack the center shaft with a B.F. Hammer while you pull on the wheel, but don't damage the threads.

IMHO, I would opt for using the steering wheel puller.

That's what I do, but a puller is a better idea for most - it's a collapsible column, and may collapse!

Just unscrew the nut to the end of the threads and hold some pressure pulling the wheel towards you and hit the nut with a good dead blow hammer. After a couple hits it should come loose, no problem.

just dont take the nut all the way off and try to pull it with your hands unless you want 4 gold front teeth. a dead blow hammer works good but i perfer a plain hammer, no bs and it knocks it loose in one blow, just dont miss.
