I have used a steering wheel puller on free rental from the local part store.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

You could make a plate and use the holes , but the free rental @ Car Zone always seemed quicker to me.

Yes, just loosen the nut almost all the way (failing to do it this way means you will whack the snot out of yourself with the wheel when it comes loose), and alternate a maximum yank on the left and then the right side of the wheel at the spokes, and it will come loose. Has worked for me every time, including the time I whacked the snot out of myself...
Not responsible for advice not taken...
