I did try this but to no avail I still was not able to get it off, I think I might just try and find someone near me that can help me with that.. Anyone know where I can get a dirt cheap trailer?

I think you can better invite someone in than to go with a half a car to someone?

Also.. if you can't get it off heat the thing with a hairblower and then you can ice the axle with cold spray, you can buy that in a can and spray the axle to minus 42 degrees Celsius..  (No i don't know Fahrenheit but it's very cold.. 😉 ) 

A paint burning heating gun would also work but dont make the cable in the axle (from the horn) to hot!  I use a hairblower and shut the inlet with my hand a bit so it will give more hot air.. keep checking the hot air with your hands..

As you wil need a new steering wheel, you could also cut the aluminium part off with a grinder just don't touch the steel axle..  (stop just before the axle with cutting, then stick a flat screwdriver in it from the front and brake/crack the last part. (USE NO HAMMER 🙂 )

Ah thank you, I will try this and let you all know if I have any luck.. Thank you very much for all the info! 🙂
