 I remember the first time i changed a steering wheel. I took the nut right off and pulled with all my might.  nothing.  so pushed the seat back braced my feet and I pulled again,  it moved a bit then came flying towards my face at about 90mph and hit me in the chin. 

my dad then told me "don't take the nut all the way off , just loosen it first".
