Did "the Bible alone" tell him to remove several books from itself? Or did Luther consider himself to be an authority greater than the Bible alone?

God's Word is Holy Spirit inspired and 'Who inspired it's writings', also inspired Luther. God uses people (their destiny) to get His work done on this earth. Like he did with Abraham, Moses, Esther, Mary, Joseph, Paul, David etc, etc., etc.

"I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."

God already knew satan would attempt to hijack/destroy HIS church. And, then we have this Scripture. "Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down.." Mark 7:13 A satanic tactic on HIS Word for His Church.

For Luther's Bible to be inerrant, he would have had to have acted infallibly in determining the canon of Scripture.

Again, he was Holy Spirit inspired.

If you put aside Luther's novel teaching of "the Bible alone" and look at the argument objectively, you will see that the logic is inescapable. It's a simple, insurmoutable, dilemma.

Logic? God uses the foolish things to confound the wise. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence'.

When the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt, God didn’t send an army to deliver them, He sent a single man. But a single man of God was shown to be greater than the most powerful kingdom on Earth.

"Again, he was Holy Spirit inspired."

Luther was not infallible in that much of what he taught, the hatred of the Jews for example, was errant. If not, then is not hatred of the Jews embodied in Protestant dogma and why do you choose to some of what Luther taught such as the real presence and the perpetual virginity of Mary?

Luther was inspired! ROTFLOL!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Again, he was Holy Spirit inspired.

So he acted infallibly when he determined the canon of Scripture?

If yes, then you believe in "Sola Luthera."

You know, I was going to say in my previous post that Catholics and Protestants can at least agree upon the fact that Luther was fallible. But I guess I was wrong.
