I'm very frustrated right now.

I ordered a "new" steering wheel off ebay for the S2K. It got here and to my surprise it was in absolutely great condition. Looks brand new. What a steal for $49.

Anyways, I attempted to remove the old wheel tonight to install this one. The T30 torx bolt on the left of the wheel came off without a hitch. But the one on the right just stripped completely round when I attempted to remove it. These are the two bolts that hold the airbag in place, which has to be removed to allow access to the wheel nut.

Anyways, it's in a super tight space and cutting the bolt is not an option. I tried to drill it as best as I could, but I'm going to need to get a screw extraction kit in the morning and hopefully that will do the trick and get the bolt out. If it works, I'm going to use a standard bolt with the new wheel. I hate Torx $h1t.
