I have nothing that big and nothing to measure accurately (really should get a set of calipers). I guessed at 27/24 because that was what was in the sets they had but they are both too big.

Refined guess is now 26/22. Can anyone confirm that for me?

Bonus question: Is there anywhere in the car that needs a 27 or 24 combo? If I will never need them I'll just return and exchange for the correct size.

Thanks

The only nut that I personally have had to use a 27mm on is the one for the steering wheel.

As far as the speedo angle drive, I just used an adjustable wrench for the cable and a 10mm to actually pull the drive out.

Allan,
I have removed the 10mm as per Haynes but the angle drive wouldn't move. Any hints on how to get it out? Does it twist out? Thread out?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Once again I didn't search first. Nice write up Dr Evil.
