Had tree fall on steering wheel on my 33. Took top mechanism off, but couldn't get the wheel off. It is just a spline shaft, isn't it? I can't believe it would be threaded. Would a gear puller work perhaps? Don't want to cause more damage than I already have.

The steering wheel is just splined, not threaded. Did you remove the nut on the center shaft that holds the steering wheel on? If that is done, then a good overnight soaking in PB Blaster or other penetrating oil and a 3-jawed gear puller is what you need. The nice thing is that if your steering wheel is already messed up, some cosmetic damage on removal won't matter.
