Steering Wheel Removal-2006 Workhorse Chassis
I need to remove the steering wheel from my 2007 Southwind in order to remove the refer through the driver's side door. Any tips and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If no air bag, this method has worked for me for over 50 years.
Loosen the nut until it's flush with the shaft, get you knees behind the steering wheel and apply force, grab two ball peen hammers, lay the flat end of the first hammer on the shaft and hit the first hammer with the second hammer. The pressure from your knees will keep the shaft from collapsing unto its self. A couple of taps will release the tapered fit. Final removal of the nut will repair, if any thread damage to the shaft.
