First and foremost . . . do not hammer down on the steering shaft! . . . it may knock out the expansion plug on the steering housing. I did that once I had my steering wheel puller tightened up, trying to break it free. I had to remove the steering housing to put in a new plug. I later discovered that warning in the shop manual.
Apply penetrating oil (I like Kroil) to the shaft where it enters the wheel center several times a day or so before. A steering wheel or harmonic balancer puller works. There are two 5/16 threaded holes in the steering wheel ring that goes onto the shaft . . . probably need to retap them to clean the threads. . . use some grade 8 bolts to connect puller. Once hand tight, the key is using percussion from an impact wrench, set on reduced air pressure. Short bursts, add penetrating oil, impact again. Tighten puller. Even though my wheel was corroded in the center, there were enough threads to catch to make this work. When you get it off make sure you put antisieze on the shaft so it"s easier next time!
