ok people, on my project car ('00 LS) i cant seem to get the steering wheel off. this car was a theft recovery and from the looks of it i beleive it was previously taken off. when i first looked at it the steering bolt was off and also all the airbag stuff. in the helms it has a pic of the sterring wheel supposed to go into 2 pins. well that case that has the 2 pins is also off, so im guesin the guy took it off. its all rusted also. ive tried bangin on a screw driver to get it out. i dont wanna have to get a whole new steering column.

thanx fer any advice.
