u actually need a steering wheel puller.

1 way to try is to put the big washer and nut back on a turn or 2,and then just try and yank the wheel from various points and try to get it off that way. i will warn u...it is VERY HARD to get off.

good luck!

If it's a junk car and you don't care about the steering shaft threads, take a big hammer and beat the **** out of the shaft. Then yank the wheel hard a few times and it should come free.

Lol, go down to autozone and tell them you need to rent a steering wheel puller. They will hook you up and by the way it looks you should be able to figure it out.
