Anyone tried to swap out a steering wheel and find that the existing wheel just won't come off?

I'm replacing my 4 spoke with a 3 spoke. Removed the airbag and the main bolt tonight and tried to pull off the wheel and it would not budge. I think its frozen onto the shaft due to seven years of use. Any ideas for me?

Toolpants, you've done some of these wheel swaps.. what do you do when it's stuck?
