Re: W123 Steering Wheel Removal

1985 230CE. I need to remove the steering wheel but the bolt is very tight
as if someone used green Loctite on the threads. There is green paint on the
head of the bolt. I am using a strong impact wrench. It removed the crank
pulley bolt with ease.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Scott

I would not be afraid to use the impact to remove the allen bolt only.
If you have any valve grinding compund you may want to put it between
the head of the allen bit and the steering wheel bolt to keep from
rounding the bolt.
