Re: steering wheel bolt ???

Are you looking in the hole in the centre of the steering wheel after removing the motif? use a standard 3/8" or1/2" drive socket... I think 22mm to remove the nut.. it turns anti clockwise to remove...lock the steering with the spokes at a quarter to three straight ahead and put the new wheel back on pointing the same direction.. the nut should be torqued to 50nm according to the manual

27mm for main steering wheel, unless you have some aftermarket boss,?

Re: steering wheel bolt ???

standard merc is 27....standard rh thread aswell...when you undo the nut give the wheel a good slap from the back with both hands and it will pop right off.
