Remember two things ,it is a tappered fit and it has been in place for a long time.
A tappered fit will generally come unstuck with the usual sharp tapping of the nut on the threads but, remember, the narrower the tapper (as with the steering wheel and shaft)
it pull even snugger a fit as opposed to the crankshaft and flywheel of a lawn mower which
has a shorter wider tappered fit.
This fact plus the possible rust in between the steering wheel and shaft would be best served by using a penetrating oil and allowed to sit before trying to tap the nut to loosen the tappered fit or pull the dry wheel from the shaft with a puller.
