I agree with 27mm. I've always used a Snap-on socket that has 1 1/16" and 27mm engraved on it. PN#IM340.

just my 2 cents, Harbor Freight has a pair of digital inch/metric calipers usually on sale for about $15. (the metal ones). I checked them with my Mitutoyo standards and they were within .0005". Very good for general work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

The nut bore is an 18mm with a 1.5mm pitch thread, 8.85mm thick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It uses a 27mm wrench (1 1/16").

A helpful tip.
When removing the steering wheel do not take the nut off all the way. That way when you pop the wheel off the nut will stop the wheel from popping your face. |
