Default HELP removing Steering Wheel Nut (JDM Steering Wheel Install)

I'm trying to install my JDM SRS Steering wheel into my teg and am having a VERY hard time trying to remove the Steering Wheel Nut. It won't budge at all.
Anyone have any recommendations on either how they removed it or what my best procedure is to get it off?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

try to use a breaker bar with the right mm socket (I forget which one it is either 17mm or 19mm) put it to the left side of the wheel have some hold the wheel for you then you push down on it towards the seat. Righty tighty lefty loosey just remember that.

damn, i don't have a breaker bar. Looks like i'll have to wait till tomorrow to go to the store to get one.

I'm just wondering if there is another way to get it done. ARGGG...i hate leaving projects till the next day, especially when everything is apart.

you can use a regular rachet handle but if it's that tight that you can loosen it then the breaker bar would give you enough leverage to loosen it. You can also get a good piece of pipe and put it over the rachet handle and do it like that.

I use my tire iron on the end of my ratchet as a breaker bar. Works wonders.
