I've always used a "suitable drift" on the head of the column shaft
itself. (I leave the retaining nut on loosely in case I or another oaf
misses with heavy hammer blows.) A couple of taps on the drift while
someone else is pulling upwards on the wheel itself should free the wheel
quickly. It really doesn't take a whole lot of effort.
