what size socket for the steering wheel?

Post by Mk2Adam »

i've brought a steering wheel and i need to know what size socket the nut holding the wheel on is...because i know i havn't got it in my set meaning buying an individual socket, i think it was something like 25 or 26 but can anyone confirm for me?

Think I used a 15/16" on mine when I did it last time. Bit slack, but it does the job.

Oh, and pull the wheel loose on the splines before to take the nut off the last couple of turns. It saves you smacking yourself in the boat race with the steering wheel :roll:
