That 10mm bolt is tough and I was getting ready to give up. I used my impact gun on it for a few mins and I think it helped. I went back for one last attempt with the long breaker on it and it came loose. The real problem is counter-holding it. It would be ideal to have a friend/helper (male) that could counter hold the steering wheel while the other person torques on the breaker. Counter-holding is the whole problem.

Would it be possible to put a long 2X4 thru the steering wheel spokes and brace it against the floor? Maybe. I'd be concerned about damaging or breaking the steering wheel.
