[_DX3_]

I think one of the mods suggested this method using an air hammer and a long 3/8 bolt with the head cut off and nuts to help hold it into the hammer spring. I Loosened the steering wheel bolt but did not remove it completely. I loosened up to the point that it was flush with the top of the steering shaft. Inserted the bolt and hammer. While pulling upwards with one hand and then using the hammer to apply vibrations. I would rotate the wheel about 1/3 of the way then use the hammer again. The third try and the wheel popped loose. Unlike using a big hammer with repeated blows to the shaft that can damage bearings and bearing cups this won't do that.
