The steering wheel should come loose without the need for a puller. Remember don't overdo it with the mallet and with the nut being flush with the threaded steering column it should prevent damage to the threads.
I have been removing steering wheels in this way for over 20 years with no damage.
pull the steering wheel for a broken speedo cable? Am I missing something?
Incidentally I found an easier way to pull my steering wheel when I first got my truck - it came off in my hands when I pulled myself into the truck one day. Guess the PO forgot to tighten that nut enough....
