Default Pulling steering wheel

Any tricks for pulling the plastic teleflex steering wheel. This sucker is
corroded on pretty good.

I remember reading a post in one of the boat groups about using the
difference in temperature between the two parts to do the work. This
guy dumped ice town a metal tube that was stuck in something, waited a
few minutes, and it popped right out, even after he had tried all
sorts of penetrating oils. The tube cooled faster than the part it was
stuck in.

I think plastic expands when warm, (heat gun), after cooling the whole
assembly with maybe some kind of cooling spray , or something really
cold? I don't know.
