Ever heard of using a wrench? Is that a seat belt anchor?

Steering wheel T-50 Bolt

The second I put the T-50 on it, it just imploded...

Had to drill it out, and use the extractor...

^ You're lucky the extractor didn't break. Did you initially use an impact wrench?

First I used a Torque Wrench with a brand new T-50 Socket.
^^^ First Turn, was super careful to get it straight and completely set
and it imploded (Cheap Chinese Bolts)

Since that was a mess, I hit it with the gun and it just spun out the guts...

Chip

I recognize that bolt! It's the spawn of Satan's bolt. It broke a tool by simply staring at it. I once saw a transmission piddle itself because of that bolt. Yeah...you got a doozy there. Bury it under a closed up 1970s Phillips 66 "filling" station.
