Mort Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 My Assembly Guide(s) just say to secure the steering wheel to the steering column using the nyloc nut and tighten. No torque setting to be found anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Never actually 'torqued' mine up. Handbook just says 'lock it in position using the 1/2" nyloc nut and washer' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks for your reply. I'm surprised that no torque figure is given anywhere. Still, I guess it's unlikely to vibrate off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Most steering wheels wouldn't come off if the nut wasn't even on Just do it up FT. With loads of coppaslip on the splines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Locust Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just do it up FT. *nono*The spline on the column will be tapered. Going mad tightening the nut will just make it very difficult to remove in future. Have just had this issue on the Excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Fitted, tightened, driven, checked - all seems OK. Edited by - Mort on 28 Mar 2012 10:42:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Pretty sure mine's not tapered Ah well, not like I need to remove it that often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 John, what you're really saying is that you didn't notice it WAS tapered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
