steering removal
i need to remove the steering wheel but the torx fitting on each side of the steering column seems like doesnt work with regular torx fitting.
theres a bump in the center of the torx shape.
Anyone know what i'm talking about? How do it remove it?

That's a tamper-proof bolt, and you need a special bit to take it out:
I'd suggest reading the service manual VERY carefully before taking that apart. You don't want the air bag to deploy in your face.

yeah that's the one. I read a DIY on this and the guy just removed those two bolts and separated the airbag from the steering.

my house is 30 miles away from the dealer where i got this car. should i go there or just try to do it myself? There's loud noise inside of the air bag area.
You bought the wrong torx bit.
