Got a 1 5/16 Sidchrome socket, only in 3/4" drive so had to get a 1/2" converter for my socket set. $33-. Will use that on the steering wheel but now need a breaker bar for the wheel hubs. That costs $85-! Not cheap these tools that you only need every so often.

Do you sell tools or are you saying I should come over to get it done? I've had some grief with a 'restored' original steering wheel I bought that didn't have the screw hole or metal earthing plate in it. Someone bogged over it and painted it and I bought it sight unseen so that has led to problems with the horn requiring me to take the steering wheel on and off (several times) until I get another one restored. Also, I'm no mechanic but I have had a go at changing brake rotors (discs) before so I thought the socket may be handy. I was surprised how much a breaker bar is though so I haven't bought one yet.
