tiny allen key electric screw driver attachments
how easy is it to buy them? are they in halfords or homebase or something?
my mate gave me a really really nice sparco steering wheel, problem is its attached to a nova steering collumn  i managed to get 3 of the allen
bolts out the wheel/hub but 2 are stuck fast (been soaking for a week in 3in1 oil), and the 3rd one is all rounded out, but that should be easily
sorted once i get the other 2 out.
they take a 3mm allen key, but the key just bends

e-bay, search for hex bits
or halfords will do them, possibly in a set though.

If you don't want the boss just drill the heads off and leave the rest in.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Easy to get in sets (screwfix for example) I've got some ikea sized ones (4mm?) which I bought from somewhere as singles - B&Q?
You can also get also get allen key sockets (like these
linky which work well

^^^ I agree, a 4mm drill should see them out.
If you didnt want to do that can you hit the heads a bit to 'shake the treads'?
You may also be able to hammer in a torx bit for more bite.
Downward pressure is also your friend here, the more the merrier, allen keys do not exert any of this.

i ended up drilling them. i'd hoped the collumn may have been some good to someone on here, but i realised the boss the wheel is attached to is
removeable.
cheers anyway guys!
mansfield, i managed some downward pressure, by turning with a pair of pliers, and pushing down with my hand, but all that did was twist my allen key
ah well, done now 
anyone want a nova collumn?! (might be corse actually...)
