on the old one i have undone the nut and left it on at the end so i dont end up smacking myself in the face, but it is on so tight i cant budge it. tried wd40 to loosen it but it didnt do anything.

This dreaded old Task,I told you it wouldnt be Easy

What i did was move the Seat very close to the SW and put my knees behind it and kind of pulled really hard upwards,Then with both Hands pulled on it downwards really Hard,And it popped off.

Glad you sorted it buddy we had the same problem in a nova once and ended up tying the steering wheel to a rope onto the back of another car, that got it off quick enough.
