Hi,
Does anybody know the socket size required to remove the nut on the steering wheel. Is there a special one???
Thanks for your time.
Happy Turkey day! Very Happy

Don't quote me but I think it is 23mm. It isn't anything special.

I have always just used my big slip wrench. It is not torqed that tight, and doesn't have to go on that tight either.

Well, yeah... to take it off, sure.
But to get it back on you need the right handed one. That is why they are always sold in pairs.
