Before dismantling your column, try spraying wd 40(using red soda straw nozzle) up the inside of the column from the engine side of the firewall.. The noise could be coming from here and broadcasting up your column causing you to believe that is coming from steering wheel or bearing just below it.

Worth a couple of minutes to find out.
