Arrrrg -- clunk
What is the appropriate tool to remove a steering wheel? I fiddled around for an hour with a general purpose wheel puller, but there is no place for the hooks to grab.

I have an inexpensive steering wheel puller that I bought many years ago - works great.

Wheel puller has two 1/4-20 bolts that thread into the steering wheel and one larger bolt (in the center) that threads into the puller and presses onto the shaft. I made mine out of piece of flatbar and a half inch nut and bolt.
