Most of the time, it gets broken when removed.

Are you taking the wheel off or the rotor or what? To take the wheel off remove the lugs - if it seems stuck it may have rusted on a bit, this is somewhat normal. Just knee one edge of the tire and the wheel should pop off.

Yeah, I've done a lot of steering wheels. On some cars they came off easy while on others I had to break it off.

If they always break you're not using the right torx bit. Its that simple, I've never broken them, just find the right bit.

I find it amazing you know they're torx bolts, yet you're confused as to what to use to remove them? Torx bits/sockets/screwdrivers!
