Default streering wheel removal

I have a Mota Lita (cobra stlye) wheel I'm trying to remove. Problem is,the recessed hub is wedged on the steering shaft. A conventional puller can't work due to the design of the hub. Any help?

Loosen the nut, then get a piece of lumber that will fit in the hole onto the nut, then whack hell out of the lumber with a BFH.

I have a piece of flat bar that I use to remove my steering wheel. I drilled 2 holes in it and got me two bolts (5/16 fine thread) and screw them in and it will pop the steering wheel right off the taper lock splines. I just remove the nut, put the flat bar on the end of the shaft, put the bolts though the holes in the flat bar and thread them into the two holes in the steering column. I can't remember how long the bolts are, I think 1 1/2 or 2 inches. Hope this helps.
