 |
|
I know it's 24mm, but i cannot for the life of me get it of, i tried some PB-Blaster, but any tips on getting it off. It's hard considering the steering wheel turns when i turn the nut!

Use a breaker bar and hold the wheel with your foot.

| Turn the wheel all the way to the left, till it stops. Then try to break the nut loose. |

| I've never had a problem getting those steering wheel nuts off. It's in a fairly protected place. Strange. Is the top buggered up, or peened over the nut?? Lefty - loosy. Should go. |
