w 124 steering wheel nightmare

Hi to everibody
I hope someone can help me.
I am fighting with steering Wheel.
i follow all i can find on internet but this 10 mm allen bolt do not want to loose.
I tried to hammerin , to put wd 40, to heat a little bit but nothing.
Probably some of the previous owner did somethingh bad with this nut.
i would like to know if someone has picture of this 10 mm allen as i think i need to cut with dremel and after see what happened.
Thanks a lot
Alberto
I have w 124 1992 with airbag

Are you trying to remove the steering wheel? I have used a hex socket with a breaker bar to remove the one bolt that holds the wheel to the steering column. If you are just trying to use an allen wrench you will not have enough leverage to break the bolt loose.

I used 2 big bat to block Wheel and long lever but it was too tight as the allen already start to turn inside the place .

Alberto; Get a new bolt before you replace the wheel. Also, I suggest you remove as much thread locker from the new bolt as you can to help in future removal.
