Default Steering wheel removal?
My 1976 corvette has the stock steering wheel. my car didn't come with the horn assembly, just the wheel with a nut in the middle. I took the nut off but it's like something else is holding the steering wheel to the column. What do I do?

They are frequently stuck on the spline pretty good and you'll likely need to use a steering wheel puller to get it off

The steering wheel is a press fit - you can't just slide it off. Use a Steering Wheel Puller.
