Removing the steering wheel

[benough]

It looks like a normal bolt but my ratchet didn't fit in there.

Do you need a special tool or a trick to do it?

Last time I payed a guy to do it but it looks super easy.

just a large socket should fit...thats how i did mine back in the uk

[benough]

Yeah I just need to know how to get a socket in there...

You will just need a large socket like velly said, with an extension bar on it so you can get it in and turn.

Ben a 6" extension should do the trick. Make sure you either have a handy helper or just put on the steering lock. Also leave the bolt on by a few threads when tugging off the wheel to stop it hitting you when it lets go...

Cheers for the tips.

My biggest socket is a 19mm. It looked bigger than that...

Steering wheel nut 24mm deepwell

I have used a 24mm deepwell socket with as the other's have indicated a 6 inch extension. A standard socket may also fit. I just checked a spare wheel I have in my workshop, and the 24mm fits nice.

Have fun

The 24mm worked a treat.

Forgot to mark the steering wheel postion with a texta so I had to adjust it 3 times before it would drive straight, haha!

Thanks everyone. It's so nice to be able to indicate to the right again
