I'd try some PB Blaster on it, and then let it sit overnight to soak. Then
try whatever puller or method you think will work. That stuff works good.

Thankfully, I can say that I have finally gotten the steering wheel off
my Jeep, and I do appreciate all the ideas and tips that I got. In fact,
of all the places I tried to find out how to do it the one place that I
got the help that I needed was here. I don't remember who posted it but
I got a webpage that showed a number of ways people removed the wheel.
They did say it was really hard to get the wheels off too. I tried the
method of putting lubrication on the shaft and then using my forearms
and knees to rock the wheel off. Didn't work. I had to stop when I
noticed a hairline crack in one of the wheel's spokes by the hub. I did
say I was good at breaking things. I finally went to HF and got a device
for pulling gears or bearings, forget which. That I attached to the back
of the wheel. Once I put the wheel puller on it the wheel came right
off. Another case of having the right tool is all you need to do any
job. Now that the wheel is off all I have to do is put on the new one.
But as you would expect that isn't going on without any problems either.
It's always something.
