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! |

Don't quote me but I think it is 23mm. It isn't anything special. _________________ '85 Cabriolet (Margo)

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. _________________ 86 GL Bostig & 89 Wolfsburg |

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. _________________ -- 1987 Westfalia automatic (Captain Vino) |
