Trying to pull my steering wheel and I pulled the horn button and encounters those nasty little wierd screws. See pic. Can anyone tell me what bit will get these out? My local Autozone "pro" had no idea.

I heard that they're called Double D. Had them on my door handle on the inside and also on my accelerator pedal. Just used a large flathead screwdriver. And PB blaster!!!

I just pulled mine. I used 5/16" coarse thread bolts. Not sure if it was right as mine had pretty bad threads, but I tried some fine thread and they definately didn't work. The steering wheel on mine came off while I was tightening the bolts on the puller down! Real easy. Mine didn't have the D Bolts.

Thanks Bret. I tried 5/16 fine. It wouldn't go in, but I felt like the bolt was too big. Just wanted to check before I went and purchased a bunch of different bolts.

They are clutch heads i have had a set for years you could probably google it and find a set. The 30s avd 40s chevy used a lot of them.

Thanks. Anybody know the proper bolt diameter and thread pattern to use with the puller? The bolts in the kit don't work.
