I'd reckon a lawnmower flywheel puller would do the trick just nicely. Ask
your local lawnmower repairer if you can borrow one. They have 2 or 3 arms
that hook under the flywheel, and a screw thread that pushes a rod down the
centre, so when you do it up, it pushes the midle down and pulls the
flywheel off...
Same rules apply for a steering wheel I'd imagine.

Luke, Unfortunately my wheel doesn't have any threaded holes so that I can't
force the wheel off like this. Though I've used that method to get drum
brakes off.
I might wrap a chain around the wheel, then around a large gum tree. Then
I will floor it in first gear. I'll wear an ice-hockey mask and a hector
protector for obvious safety reasons. Or I might just get the proper tool
from repco :)
