I tend to use my knees under the wheel to exert upward pressure while I tap
the end of the shaft with a chunk of brass. The nut should be loosened but
flush with the end of the shaft. This prevents the wheel from inflicting
injury upon you if/when it breaks loose. It also minimizes the probability
of inflicting damage upon the threads of the shaft. Your steering column is
collapsible, so do not use too much force.
