To remove the steering wheel there is a bolt on the left side of the wheel. It is 8mm in diameter and is 1.25" deep. Has anyone removed their steeringwheel before?

I have not removed an "evo" wheel, but I remove steering wheels all the time at work. I use an electric impact. Make sure the wheel is locked, try using something for leverage

Pictures would be great, I have not removed the steering wheel on an Evo before. Check Evom for a write up in the DIY section.

I really don't think how much you bench has any relevance here, I think how much you curl would be more important in this case or maybe tri's, I dunno though, lol....

try an impact wrench though, I'm with Paul on this one....

This is funny, I actually got it, bought a 8mm bolt, and got a allen key and got it cut straight. Thanks for the tips though.

its all in how you work your wrist...
