I didn't use a puller, I used the one person either side a pull as hard as you can technique

Tried knees under, didn't work, it needed both of us with our feet in the footwell, holding one side of the wheel 2 handed, pulled hard then felt it start to go then it just went. Quicker and cheaper than a puller.

i bought one of these a while back for the same steering wheel and was a little bit to wide to fit in the holes, but managed to do it by bending the legs in with a vice.
