First and foremost . . . do not hammer down on the steering shaft! . . . it may knock out the expansion plug on the steering housing. I did that once I had my steering wheel puller tightened up, trying to break it free. I had to remove the steering housing to put in a new plug. I later discovered that warning in the shop manual.
Apply penetrating oil (I like Kroil) to the shaft where it enters the wheel center several times a day or so before. A steering wheel or harmonic balancer puller works.
