As Keifernet says, it's 27mm.
You need a socket - a box wrench (ring spanner) won't get deep enough.
And when you are pulling the steering wheel... it's a tightish fit on the splined shaft - you often have to thump on it from behind using the balls of your hands - both sides at the same time, and eventually it will pop free.
About the only other place on a bug you use a 27mm socket is the two bolts which hold the yoke cradle in place under the gearbox.
