<VV> steering wheel removal - caution

5/16-18 IIRC.

I have had almost no luck with JR's method, although I  keep trying! gggg

More  often than not, you can just bump them of with careful (semi) gentle 
blows  on the back side of the spokes - alternating spokes as you go.

With a small chunk of bar stock and a couple of the bolts referenced above,  
it is really easy to pull the steering wheel. One caution - it is easy to 
damage  the threaded end of the column when pulling the wheel. When you are 
gettting  ready to pull the wheel, leave the nut on the end of the column. Loosen it 
 (DUH!) and back it off until the top of the nut is "just" above the end of  
the shaft.Then put on the puller and tension it off. That should save the  
threads on the end of the column - making it much easier to re-install the wheel
