Same problem for me. Do a search or look a the related threads below, as there's been a lot on this topic. Basically I think it involved leaving the nut on a thread and pulling like hell. Or buying a centre pull.

Lazer steering wheel pulls are £19.99 i had the same stearing wheel you had when i bought my corsa and wanted to change it to a more modern one off of a newr corsa (99 reg) the one with the air bag in the middle, to get the new one off when i found one at the scrap yard i undone the nut and took off the washer behind put the nut back on a few threads and used brute force to get it off just pull outwards really hard and keep moving around the steering wheel it worked for me took a while though, same works with your steering wheel dont think you wuld break / bend any think just dont use a bar or any think, i used a rubber hammer to and hit the centre were the nut attaches to try and loosen it abit with the shock of the impact dunno if it actualy help but meah
