cut the steering wheel
make sure you have a replacement ready to refit before you cut the first one

Most steering wheels are press fit. There are usually 2 bolt holes on
either side of the hub. Might cost you another quid for two bolts and
three wide washers to pop the wheel off. o)(o

Just get angry with it. Brute force, a hammer, thick screw driver and a crow
bar are all thieves would use. It's amazing what will give way with a bit of

between 2 and 5 minutes.
