It shouldn't do. You could get a steering wheel puller if your worried.

i rang a mate and he showed me a quicker way by banging the wheel to shock it loose then it just comes off, sounds easier than it really is though

when you have undone the bolt just leave it on a bit and tap the back of the wheel so it pops off

I tried all the feet on dash techniques first, to the point where my dash was bending

Then I used my practical wizardry and bodged a puller from a rope staple and two groundbolts
