Currently stuck in the infamous 14 mm deep bolt part, I'd rather saw my own cornea. I've tried getting it out without loosening the shorter 14 mm bolts that holds the column in place, I've tried it with loosening them. Wiggling, Steering it so that the deep bolt is as away as possible from that metallic plate from the brake pedal support. The 14 mm deep bolt is slowly getting rounded off. I'm taking a break right now, but when I return I might just put the bolts back for now. Any tips?
