I just went thru the same ordeal. Bought 1/2 " electric impact just for the job but no joy. I finally placed 2 Miami Yellow Pages and a West Marine catalog on console, used socket wrench with breaker extension set between hub and rim of wheel to the center of book pile (to support end of breaker extension), turned the steering wheel right (clockwise) while standing outside of the drivers door with my right hand on the bottom of the wheel pulling and the left on top pushing. My guess is that about an inch pound before the wheel broke, the bolt loosened.
No damage to console or wheel.
Hope this helpes.

CAUTION: Turn ignition on to unlock wheel for this proceedure - But don't forget to TURN OFF BEFORE INSTALLING AIRBAG if so equipped!
Note: It's not so much the locktite as the large surface of the bolt face so use PB Blaster and let it soak while tapping with hammer and 1/2" extension or equivalent to avoid damaging allen socket.
