This is some advice I got from a friend when asking for the best way to
remove the steering wheel on my '79 MGB.
"Remove main nut. Place thighs on lower half of wheel, hands on upper half,
all
evenly spaced, and shake back and forth. DON'T BREAK THE WHEEL."
I did this and it worked like a charm. The shaking is the important
part.....it's more like push top of wheel (with hands) pull bottom of wheel
(with thighs/knees), then pull top of wheel and push with thighs.

Kevin,
I have had a similar problem with my '77 parts car...Wanted to remove
the rim to hang on the wall of my dorm room but...There are no holes to
attach a harmonic balance puller, and no amount of liquid wrench can budge
the thing...My next step is to drill two holes and tap & thread them to
facilitate removal...Anybody else have any good advice?
