Soak it in PB Blaster or Kroil or something like that for awhile. Patience is key. I think I soaked this one for 3 or 4 days before I got it loose. The steering wheel is splined to the steering shaft. Here is the puller I made. I have only used it once, but it removed the most stubborn steering wheel I have ever encountered.
Matt, that's very possible. Mine didn't look good when I took it apart.

I was planning on rebuilding the whole unit anyway as it was VERY sloppy but I might have contributed to what all needed replaced.
