PERSONAL steering wheel problem

[david.avrahami@]

I have a "PERSONAL" steering wheel with the correct hub on my 1987 Carrera.
I messed up in trying to adjust the position of the wheel by trying to remove the 6 screws that attach the steering wheel to its hub.
3 of the screws can no longer be removed because the grip for the allen key got enlarged and it is round now.
Any suggestions as to how can I remove these screws???

Next time use allen keys that have rounded ball ends on them so that you can attack at an angle without rounding them out.

You might want to try a metric or sae size allen socket that would be a little bigger than the original size and tap it on with a hammer,sometimes it will just fit tight enough and allow you to remove the stripped allen screw !

That's exactly the kit that I have, has worked very well for me.

Thanks guys....your suggestions did not work BUT I ended up drilling the screw top and hammered gently an extractor I had that got a good grip ...and then with using my drill, I gently turn the extractor counter clockwise and all 3 screws came out.
I bought new screws and reassembled the wheel and positioned the turning signal cancel tab at 9.00 and everything works perfectly.
