Incredibly frustrated right now. I have been dealing with the bolt from hell on the steering wheel. Would be too hard to explain without showing it, but basically one of the bolts holding in the airbag, which needs to be remove was not removeable by torx bit. Basically it escalated to the point where I needed to drill into the bolt and use a screw extractor. Then the screw extractor broke off in the bolt from hell. Now I have to go buy the hardest drill bit I can find to drill through the broken extractor piece and try again. After literally 6 hours of messing with the one bolt I gave up for the day. So the passenger BRIDE seat is in but thats it.
