Best bit of kit you ever bought!

get a heavy man and get him to batter the steerin wheel with it unbolted, worked for mine!

pity i was given the wrong boss kit...

tried doing this but it didnt work,all it done was mash the nut lol

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.

yeh i had the nut flush,probz not workin coz of the hammer im using lol...and where u live mate?

PM'd you mate.

or just put your feet on the dash and yank like f**k thats what i did to mine.

tried that with no luck lol

pull the steering wheel side to side and itl come off!

not in my case lol

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

gotta take my car to a mate to remove a rounded bolt on seat,so hes gonna do it,hes done it loads of times..and was one of the first people to fit the 1.8 lump in a corsa b 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.

21mm socket

22mm
