Crack the 19mm bolt loose. and loosen it off the thread a little bit but not all the way. Put your wheel back on and start yanking on it. That's how I got my old one off.

Get yourself a steering wheel puller from Sears. It's basically a ball joint puller, made for steering wheel hubs.

Or you can rent a steering wheel puller from AutoZone, plus you get your money back when you return it.

It only costs like, $20 IIRC, and it's one of those things that you'll find a use for in the future.
