Installing an aftermarket steering wheel??
Im have a little trouble installing a Momo steering wheel on a 01-03 civic. The torx screws seem to be really tight. Ive used power drill and had no success. Has anyone else had this problem?

I didn't have a problem with that specific bolt but you could use a 1/4 socket to hold the torx screw then you can use a ratchet.

An impact driver can work wonders. The kind that you hit with a hammer, not the kind that you stick in the end of a drill or air hose.

This what a torx screw looks like i don't think you can use a ratchet to remove this. Can you?

Worst comes to worst, drill into them and use the black and decker stripped screw remover kit on your drill, that'll take em right out

psh...my old avatar was better (until I was asked to remove it......)
Youd be wise to buy a manual impact driver and a torx bit. It'll work a lot better than a socket driver.
Most hardware stores, sears, autozhit, etc carry them

Re: Installing an aftermarket steering wheel?? (94eg!)
i had those same screws in my steering wheel just get a small enough socket for the bit to fit in and use a rachet to take it out, and that was the simple part....
