As TwinTriangles stated, get an alignment. This problem is fixed by adjusting the tie rod lengths on each side, not by adjusting the steering wheel.

Get an alignment. You don't adjust the steering wheel, you adjust the tie rod ends. If it was aligned recently and the wheel isn't straight that's because the shop didn't center the wheel before they aligned it. Take it back and have them fix it.

You never just remove the steering wheel to re-center the steering. Doing that would mean the pinion at the end of the steering column is no longer positioned correctly on the steering rack.

listen to everyone else first...but if for some reason you really do need to take the steering wheel off...I found out the other day that the tire iron (for the lug nuts) is actually the same size as the nut that holds the wheel on and works pretty good at removing it...not sure about the stock wheel but there is enough clearance with the efini wheel....
