removed a very stuck steering wheel

Well, I needed to remove the dash plate but the steering wheel was in the way.  It has been soaking with Blaster for 9 months.  Still wont budge. Tried a puller with no luck. 
So I picked the whole tractor up by the steering wheel and tapped around the collar of the wheel  .... nothing.   Stuck a punch down the end of the shaft and tapped on that.  Still nothing.  
Got out the BFH and after about 20 smacks with that it was off with only minor damage to the wheel.   DONE!
