Default removing tilt lever

What do you use to unscrew the tilt lever, I see a notch there, and tried by hand but no luck. TIA

You can use a very tiny adjustable wrench.

You can also use a tiny pair of vise grips. I usually put some electrical tape around the notch so as to not scratch the lever. A small piece of cloth also works.

The lever turns out towards the dash / front of Vette. Screws back in towards the rear.

Good Luck!
