 Didn't anyone save the discussion on this from last year??? ah well.

 Pry out the MG emblem in the center of the wheel, and remove the now
exposed nut. Now, turn the steering straight ahead, sit in the seat so
that you are well braced, and grab the wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock. Pull out
hard on one side while pushing in wihth equal force on the other. After
about a second, reverse the directions of the forces; i.e. push and pull.
Keep reversing like this. After, oh, three to six times, the wheel will pop
loose and bonk you in the nose.

 Forget steering wheel pullers, hammers and punches, etc. They will not work
on the stock late B wheel.
