remove horn, undo bolt (24mm? socket) remove washer.

then tap quite hard each "arm" of the wheel, DONT hit it stupidly hard as it'll break ur column, and DONT use ur steering lock to hold the wheel steady. it WILL break! :wink:

undo the nut but leave it on a couple of threads so you dont smack yourself in the nose, then pull on it like fook, dont hit the shaft as you can fook your threads

i buahgt a draper one and a laser one and neither fitted properly

so if your buying one i'd recommend a grinder as well to modify the legs to fit right

Would be easier with a steering wheel puller, I can get mine off without 1, just wiggle it by a bit side to side, while pulling very hard, should pop off, leave the bolt on if u want your front teeth though.

Heres the 1 Draper do for Nova: http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=15251
Price : ?14.43 inc VAT
