LOL... Been there.

Had a thread on this a few years back:

Stuck wheel

Trying to remove old steering wheel and it seems it's pretty stuck. I've soaked with some WD40, so that might help. The plastic edges are not strong enough to hold the claws of a puller. Any ideas?

I would put a puller on it. Get some good tension on it then if it doesn’t pop you can try some heat on the hub, use a rag dipped in boiling water and use players or if you have a heat gun that might do it. Just leave the tension on it while you heat it. Gear pullers are cheap, should always have a couple kicking around anyways.

Gear Puller, I had the same issue. I put pressure on mine with the puller, sprayed a bunch of deep creep and left it over night. Next morning it was off

Got it , easy !
Fish Assassin , the man . He said put an arm under it, a leg (block) push out and tap the inside spindle with a hammer , with bolt threaded on before ...came out like a got damn .. He may have not said it exactly like the above but it's his greatly appreciated comment that got it done
THANKS AGAIN FISH ASSASSIN !
And all others suggestions too
PS , it was a 25 year old wheel and the key was rusted rusted and fricken rusted solid to the wheel hub, but it came out like butter

Puller's are very cheap and useful tools...Princess Auto has a good selection. Use mine on every outboard to pull the flywheel off to get to stator, trigger coils etc.
