Replace the original sheer bolts on the steering column with standard ones and it makes the job easier next time. To remove these, I cut a grove in the bolt with a mini-grinder and used a screw driver. Worked a treat! First time round it took me a couple of hours to remove and re-install. Next time 30 mins max.
