88' 300E Steering Wheel...
So I'm trying to replace the cruise control stalk in the 300E, as it is broken.
I need to remove the steering wheel to do so... Luckily at the wrecker I could simply attack the black plastic trim and rip the cruise stalk out. I, however, do not wish to attempt that on MY car! I know you need to remove the main 10mm nut holding it on... but someone has tried before me and left rather a burred nut to deal with. Presuming I can get a replacement nut what is the best way to go about removing it, using the 10mm hex is simply not an option, as it's a 12mm hole now! Cheers

What I've found is on a knarfed up allen (hex) bolt, is hammer in an appopriate-sized Torx socket. Another help is if you can get it to a shop with compressed air and tap on the head with a pointed-tip air hammer to vibrate it a bit before trying. Deperation move it to heat the head a bit with a torch. Save that one for last....
