From the mark on my steering wheel someone's attempted this already and gotten probably to where I got to and stopped as the mark on the steering wheel maybe coincidentally is where Rich's amended LHD mark is. The steering column however is still the blue tabbed RHD one though.
So, if the bolt is spinning the head is no longer captive. If the bolt is not spinning the thread is stripped. Any idea which?
I don't suppose there is a lot of room for mole grips. Any chance of getting a nut splitter in? Junior hacksaw? I am no expert, just trying to offer suggestions.
Good luck.
