I've never had to resort to air to loosen the steering wheel bolt, but have had to use two people. Those buggers get tight. Do not use the wheel lock to provide counter tension - sure fire way to ruin the assembly. Once you break it loose you will be able to unscrew with your fingertips. Use the second person to hold the wheel still (provide counter tension) while you get after it with a breaker bar, use a cheater pipe for extra leverage.
