The nut needs to be screwed on so the top of it is flush with the top of the shaft.

Did you have the nut sitting flesh with the top of the shaft?
You shouldn't damage the nut if it is flush mate.
If you want a hand give me a shout, you're not that far away
from me.

I think tbh it might be time to invest in a 'puller' off fleabay m8 - i know they are 15 quid but that aint that much. plus you can always sell it again after uve finished with it as well
lol

I'm attempting removal of the steering wheel tomorrow and from the thread so far it seems like a complicated procedure. Is it not just a case of removing the horn, undo a big nut then whack the steering wheel from behind?
My question is what size is the nut? Just so i can pop down Halfords to get the right socket before i start.
