Unless you are real careful borrow a steering wheel puller (cheapy should work). remove the horn button, nut.

You can go to Auto Zone and they'll loan you one. You may have to leave a deposit. Don't forget to disconnect the battery cable otherwise you'll be shorting out the horn and making a racket...

Or sometimes you can loosen the nut a couple of turns, grab the wheel at 9 & 3 o'clock and pull firmly while someone whacks the nut with a hammer a couple of times. Might save you a trip to the parts house, but requires another person.

But a puller is the best way.

#1 cause of traffic wrecks is the NUT behind the wheel....

j/k what they said, pullers are pretty cheap and easy for these trucks
