I'd try a little heat on the shaft (hair dryer or heat gun on low). I have a couple of old cars with splined hubs and when it's cold the grease hardens making it hard to get the wheels off. I know the wheel has grease on the shaft since I've spread it all over after removing the wheel. I also have to rock mine a little before it slides off. Just a thought.

I have to wiggle mine around quite a bit while pulling aft but it does come
off. The rudder should be amidships so that the key does not fall out when
the wheel comes off.

I can't get the wheel off. The nut came off with no issue.
