(we can always hope!)

This makes sense, I just had an instant flashback to me driving fast on some the most ancient cobblestone roads around my current area and I had the rattle afterwards. Will be following this DIY, next week.

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?
