How do I remove the washer to remove my steering wheel to realign my wheel with my tires on my 73 3.0 S?

I removed the cap and bolt easily but this washer is keeping me from removing the steering wheel.

I can turn it with super long needle nose pliers.

Thanks

maybe I am wrong, but a washer is not retaining anything, it is simply seating there, just pull the steering towards you
