How hard to take the steering wheel out!

Well.
I'm glad that I read this post. I would have probably looked in the Bentley, but hearing it from so many different people is nice.
Noted, and Thanks!!

yes i am wondering too...i remember finding a junk car with no keys and i wanted the mtech1 3 spoker off of it....but i couldn't get it off after trying for like 15 minutes to break the lock tab so i just left it.

Same, I wanted to get the wheel and the indicator assembly. No dice, it's balls.

Without the keys, it is not. Yesterday it took me 30 minutes to completely destroy the lock cylinder. Then after everything looked like hell, I had to hook, a little metal wire inside the cylinder, pull it and at the same time take the steering off. Pulling the wire drops the pin that holds the steering wheel from coming off. It was an Mtech1. In the end I didn't take it because the previous person who wanted to take it off completely destroyed the little ridges that grip the steering rod? Looks like they took the bolt off and started playing tug of war with the S. Wheel.

Acura's lock cylinder is so much easier to break. The BMW one was nearly impossible. I also thought i was gonna go deaf from me banging it with a hammer onto a huge screw driver. Wasn't worth it.
