I believe it is a piss of piss on novas too, just done one on my corsa and there is a bit of a difference.

IIRC mine was two clip bits you pushed out while pushing the bearing, nova one wont be much different i guess.

Get it done pete.

Its easy, is all I remember. I had the column out though.
Should be possible in-situ.

the upper is a piece of piss just take the steering wheel and cowling off and two little plastic clips hold the stalk mount in situ then hey presto the bearing will come out with the plastic stalk mount :thumb:
