dont forget after you've cracked off the nut,put keys into ignition,unlock the wheel,make sure its pointing straight,then remove the steering wheel.It wont come off without unlocking the steering lock.In other words,without the key in the ignition with the lock off it wont come off.

I do a Gone in 60 Seconds and use a wheel brace to take the wheel off :drive:
