Default Steering wheel

Im trying to get the steering wheel off. Sounds super simple, right? I think it should be too. Problem is I removed the nut under the center cap. The wheel still does not come off though. Am I missing something?

I am thinking that the wheel hub is corroded to the steering stem- limiting me from removing the wheel.

Do I need an odd tool?

    It sounds like you might need a steering wheel puller. Most auto stores carry them, and some places may rent them for short-term use!

    Never mind... A little bit of wiggling and taping managed to pop it off. Not to mention a little liquid wrench.

    Corrosion was the culprit.
