Default Steering Wheel Hub Removal and Indicator Stalk

Yes, this is kind of a double question. I removed my steering wheel and the main bolt in the middle of the hub (my indicator stalk was loose and I wanted to take the dash off).

Well, once I got that bolt and all the washers off I just kind of sat there. I pulled on it a few times, but didn't want to go yanking or damaging anything. Is there a proper way to do this?

Also, the indicator stalk is loose and sits at about the 7 o'clock position. I tried correcting it and tightening the bolt, but that does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

You'll most likely need a steering wheel puller. You can often rent / borrow them from your local auto parts store. You can often find them for sale for $10 or less.

I take a good firm grip on either side of the wheel and while I'm pulling it have someone (you trust) whack the shaft with a brass punch and hammer. Leave the nut loose but on so you both don't go flying. Is it the Jag directional? That just has a little collar strap inside the plastic housing.
