I read a bunch of threads trying to figure it out

what I got was take off the screws in the back and pull

There was a few sets of screws so I took them all off

I even took off the face

it seems to me like to just pull I need to somehow break the bolt in the middle.

is that part of the plan that everyone else is explaining?

shouldn’t I just get a socket wrench in there and take it off? (Id try this already, but Im at school so its gonna take me a minute to get a hold of a socket wrench)

I read that I can just go to pep boys and have the do it for like 5 dollars or something which in theory is no big deal but now that I already did all that I did I don’t wanna admit defeat...

any input would be appreciated

 

LOL

After you take off that bolt you haven't taken off yet, the steering wheel hardly just falls off.

It will be ON there... and you could break your face trying to pull it off. That's why people have trouble with removing the steering wheel.

Not to be offensive but I think you're best renting a steering wheel puller from autozone... you don't sound that mechanically inclined, it'll make it a lot easier.

exactly just keep working at it. it will come off

 

hey, yeah, take the big nut off that's holding the steering wheel on there. But DON'T take it off all the way... Leave it threaded on the very end. Grab the steering wheel on either side. (Like 9 and 3) and begin wiggling it back and fort, maybe even bust out a rubber mallet and give it a few friendly smacks. Eventually it will come loose and you should begin wiggling/pulling. Leave the nut on the END, so that when you're pulling it with all your might, it won't smash you in the face when it decideds to come loose, lol.
