Emergency!! Help!
HELP!!!
OK, so I got my M3 wheel today and have the sport wheel taken apart, airbag on the floor and all. How in the heck do I dislodge the fricken 16mm (feels like 15.5mm) bolt holding it on?!?!? Is is clockwise or counterclockwise? Swear to God there is more than 45lbft of torque on this thing.  Please Help!!! I hate going backwards and reinstalling the sport when it's almost gone!!---ken

Got it. My half hour project was like two!
Out of desperatiion to find more leverage I grabbed the Lug Wrench from the tool kit. At 17mm it's a little too big but the S shape gave enough leverage to break the seal. WAHOO!!! The M3 wheel rocks! (PS...I now have an extra 3-spoke sport multi function wheel for sale!)

Glad everything worked out...
You should have used a breaker bar for that steering wheel nut. It's on there very tight!
