Once you remove the horn button/light switch rod (w/o bending it!!), back the nut off until it's flush with the top of the threads on the steering shaft to prevent thread damage. Sometimes you get lucky and the steering wheel will disengage from its tapered fit on the shaft with a slight pull, but I've had to use a good steering wheel puller most of the time.
