My steering wheel removal tool. Used a nylon lock nut put on backwards. No need to weld nut to bolt. Nut stays put when being used and the depth you may need is still adjustable. I like the end of bolt to rest on the end of the steering shaft. Less stress on threads. I have removed about 20 steering wheels with this tool with no damage to threads or steering wheels.

I don't know how many times I've driven to someone's garage because they could not remove a freakin steering wheel!
I've even removed them after they buggered the shafts up so bad that I had to use a file to get the wheel over the ridge they beat into it.
Spray it with PB Blaster or Kroil once a day for a few days, do the deal that I posted the other day that's on cubfaq.com and it will come off.
3 smacks with a hammer at most and they pop right off.
Short story here,
I bought a 147 that had been outside for most of it's life and the cap was long gone and water was standing in the center. It was rusted so bad that you could not even tell there was a nut on it, LOL.
I brought it home, and after a couple months, decided that the steering needed some attention. I sprayed it everyday for a week just to remove the buildup to get to the nut. 2 smacks with the hammer it POP, it came right off.
And it didn't even have a seat, which makes it hard to get the right angle on it with your knees.
