Hi all,

Have read through various topics about swapping out controls on the steering wheel.

Each one of them makes reference to the removal of the steering wheel, but not actually how to do it.

I know I have to remove the airbag, and mark up the wheel in relation to the steering shaft, but how (once the airbag is removed) actually disengage the wheel from the steering column shaft?

Is there a big nut to undo?

Yes, it's between the steering wheel and driver seat...

Now seriously.... Take out the airbag and all will be clear.

Ok!!

Assuming there is a big nut to undo, anyone know what size socket I will need so as to ensure I have the right tools before I start the job?

Think its a bolt, not a nut, not a big one as the Torque is 48nm.

Try this very good instructional video made by Powerfuluk who sell a lot of accessories for the Freelander - explains everything. Happy removal!
