Looking for advice on the removal of a steering wheel from my '86 Carrera, as I'm installing a Momo hub and wheel. I've had experiences with rather sticky steering wheels in other vehicles -- I'm wondering if anyone has some experience with their 911. My shop manual suggests it fairly straight-forward, however I was curious to hear other viewpoints.

Thanks.
Tyler.

 

Pull the horn pad towards you until it pops off. Disconnect horn connection. Remove nut and washer holding on steering wheel. Pull steering wheel off steering shaft.

 

Has anyone had difficulty removing the steering wheel nut? Has anyone been forced to use an impact gun?

My socket seems to sit at a bit of angle when mounted to the nut ... can anyone confirm the size of the nut? (ie. 26mm?)

Thanks
Tyler

 

The nut is either a 27mm or a 24mm. Should be able to break it loose with a long ratchet. It will be on there pretty tight, but no need for an impact gun.

 

Thanks for the comments - much appreciated. I'll try the 27mm and breaker bar combo tonight.
