66 steering wheel removal

Guys, sorry for this post but this thing is kicking my butt. I've been outside in the Houston heat and humidity for the last 2 hours trying to get this wheel off. It's the deep dish simulated wood wheel with the three horn buttons on the spokes. I've got the nut off but where do I attach the puller? I've already bent the thin steel plate immediately underneath the nut. HELP!!!!!!!!

Dennis, thanks for quick reply. I was back with the car. I was not using correct puller. Hadn't noticed holes. Do you have any idea what thread they are? I've tried several sizes but to no avail. I suspect the threads are messed up so if I can find out what they are I'll chase them. Thanks.

Heres a quick way to do it without the puller, brace you knees up under the steering wheel and put pressure on it at same time, then give it a quick thump underneath with both hands...allways works for me.
