    you will need an extension to get to it

    best way to do it is to have somebody hold the wheel for you...and dont forget to make sure your wheels are straight before you tighten it back on :-p

    I never had a problem getting the nut off. Are you all sure it is not 18mm?
    I cant remember for sure but I wanted to mention something I have noticed across the board with a LOT of cars. Things related to steering exclusivley have 18mm fasteners where you will seldom ever use 18mm on anything else.

    19mm for sure. I had to take mine off like 3 times. Get some white out and mark the steering wheel with the column so you can line it back up.
