Jim-
Have you tried the bolt and nut method? I have a 4" or 5" long 5/8-18 grade eight bolt and regular size grade eight nut (not the thin nut like a jam nut). Just screw the nut down until it bottoms on the steering wheel then back it off 1/16" to 1/8". While holding the nut screw the bolt in until it bottoms on the shaft and snug it up a tad...not too much, just snug. With upward pressure on the steering wheel (knees) tap/hit the bolt. It may take a few tries but I've never been let down. Keep an eye on the gap you provided. You might need to back it off once but the gap I mentioned usually does the trick. When the gap disappears the steering wheel has moved. I have heard of steering wheels that were just too rusted even for this method but I haven't come across one yet.
Good luck.
