Need help to remove steering wheel

I got an F350-F600 steering box to put in my 54 F100. First step is removing the old wheel.

I got a steering wheel puller from advance auto. The wheel is not coming off yet. I sprayed PB Blaster into it 2 days ago I've got the puller on and tightened. I did leave the nut on the column a couple of threads.

If I leave it sit for a day will the tension eventually pull it loose?

Any advice? Do I need to use a breaker bar for more leverage?

Hit the end of the puller shaft with a Hammer. Then tighten the puller again. Repeat as necessary.
It usually works for me.
