Consider joining a car club... A steerring wheel pulling is one of those things you hate to buy for just one job. But in a club situation, someone always has these types of things you can borrow.

You could trying heating he bolt stud up with a small torch just enough to make the wd40 boil then let it cool and repeat several times it may be enough to help it come free.
You would be better off with the wheel puller however.
