Here's Bill's method that he posted Sept 2011:

I can help you! Sure fire way. Do it EXACTLY as I describe.

Screw nut partly on, sit with your feet planted on floor, grasp steering wheel at both sides, with elbows STRAIGHT, lean your upper body back STRAIGHT, ROCK YOUR UPPER BODY SIDE TO SIDE WITHOUT BENDING YOUR ELBOWS.The secret is that one arm pulls up on the wheel, while the other pushes down at the SAME time, and this will cause the taper to "POP" loose. I haven't had to use a puller since the '50's after learning this from an old pro!!

Be sure to have the nut partly on or you will surely get a nose bleed when it pops loose.
