Default What tools needed to remove a Sapphire steering wheel hub

There's a big nut in the middle, which I can remove but it's still stuck fast, was wondering if I needed to get a puller/slide hammer???

Any advice appreciated!

if u can get the nut undone all u need do i use the flat of your hand on the underside of the steering wheel..hitting opposites sides of the wheel.
it may take a little bit of effort but using hammers & bits can go drastically wrong....

Leave the nut on a couple of turns so you don't get steeringwheel-in-the-head injuries

if you got a rubber mallet just tap it but leave that bolt in a few turns or when you hit the wheel with your hands it will end up hitting you in the face
