DIY: Steering Wheel Removal

Also I see you called them a torx. You did buy a tamper proof torx right? It has a small hole on the bottom of the torx head. If not you may still be able to get it out with the proper bit. Again I'm not real clear if you were using a tamper torx or not because the regular torx even the correct size will not work.

The best way to remove these bolts is to loosen it a little the tighten loosen more tighten and so on it helps keep the loctite from jamming up in the threads plus it will chew it up so to speak and make it easier to remove.

As far as tamper poof or not if he didn't have the tamper proof he wouldn't get on it.

This may be a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask anyway. How do you remove the front plastic (with the Z on it)? Does it just pop off?
