so, someone other than myself, broke the tip off a allen wrench in one of the screws on my steering wheel (momo) ...
now, i'm tool challenged (no garage), but i have used a tool to remove screws like that before, just can't remember what it is called. it's kinda like a reverse thread drill thing ... anyone know what i'm talking about? where would i get one and what's it called ???

get a real hard center punch and try to shatter whats left of the allen wrench
another option would be to remove the other screws and just grab the wheel on the other side of the one that left and snap off the head, then try vice grips or drilling whats left |
