then the big one in the middle wind it on a few turns then while you get your knees under the wheel hit the nut with a hammer to crack the wheel off the shaft(whilst pulling with your knees at the bottom and free hand at the top). If you do this without leaving the nut on the shaft you will almost definately trash the thread and it the wheel lets go all of a sudden it wont take your teeth out cause the nut is still holding it on.

or rather than hitting the steering wheel and risking damaging it or the steering column, there are two threaded holes either side of the retaining nut u fit a steering wheel puller into these and wind the puller down, comes off easy and dosent smack u in the teeth. :D

And it may avoid the problem with the Jesus clip.
