You need to lever the wheel off the base.  Its a little snug but it will pop off
without damaging either piece.  I did manage to breack the pin off one base but
if there's one piece I have too many of its the steering wheel.

Once you have the wheel off press it on to the tapered arm of the tap.  Its a
tight fit and you may need to set the tap down on something hard.  The wheel
will pop over the knobby end and spin freely on the tapered bit without coming
off.  Ta Daa!!!!  A part that is now useful. (more useful than just a tap or a
steering wheel)

The second use is more for Train builders but might have other uses.  It
involves the wedge bricks.  The bricks have cut outs for clearing the studs of
other bricks.  If the wedge bricks are stacked one a top the other there is no
studs and it leaves two rectangular holes where the bricks meet.  The steering
wheel will fit through both holes and stick out the front.  The fit is snug with
very little wiggle.  It makes a not bad looking ladder/hand holds.

These will also fit on the stub of a loud-hailer and over both long
and short antennae...............
