no, because the airbag covers the main locknut to take the steering wheel off. i would advise going to home depot or alternative hardware place and to get advise onto removing that stripped pecker.
good luck!

i ran into this problem once. i had to drill the fucker out. if you plan on reusing the steering wheel with airbag. id replace those star bolts with 10mm.

so i heard that if you have a detachable steering wheel you wont be able to get your car deq'ed as well is that true?

I feel your pain. Thankfully, my Civic never had airbags (Canadian) ... but I have had this problem at the junkyard ... but at least there I can be a little less "civil" on the steering wheel.
I suggest getting a screw extractor instead of just trying to drill it out... should work infinitely better.

Craftsman makes a set like that but it isn't double sided. Works like a charm.
