Torx Screws C5 Wheel cannot remove
Hi
Have got a carbon fibre steering wheel to replace standard, however cannot loosen the torn screws and the rear of the wheel. Has anyone got any ideas, as I have even tried hold T30 screwdriver with a multi grip for more leverage. will spray some lubricant in an attempt to free. Most annoying at this stage. cheers

If you can't get it loose, take it into a dealer or other trusted shop and let them remove the steering wheel. That's what I did with mine (I didn't want to mess with the airbag) and if I recall correctly, the total cost for removal and install of the wheel was right at an hour labor. It was worth it to me to not strip the bolt or otherwise damage the steering wheel assembly.
