Does anyone know what size socket is needed to remove the nut on the steering wheel? Thanks!

Jerome Craig

27mm socket (or 1 1/16”)

Jerome is correct for all non-airbag 928s. If your car has an airbag, you need a 24mm socket.

Hey Thanks to all that answered!! It was a great help! I'm sorry forgot to state it was a 83 928S. Now to go remove it.

Thanks Sean, It makes me laugh evertime I see "Crazy Frog"

And sometimes just prying their hands off is the easiest way to remove them.....

Actually this is just one of a series of increasingly expensive & complex solutions; the final step is divorce which is also the most expensive & you probably lose the 928 anyway

p.s. Before you completely remove the nut - pull on the steering wheel to get it loose; If you wait until the nut is completely removed then you have a good chance of smacking yourself hard in the face.

And WATCH OUT that you do not let your horn wire wrap around your socket and rip off.

Thanks Martin, I had hoped since I own a couple Quattro's that Porsche and Audi would used the same size nut...fat chance! lol

27mm - also used for the crankshaft bolt.

And one of the the oil cooler line nuts (collar nut?) going into the radiator, along with the other nut (?) 32mm. At least it is on the S4.

What are those fittings on the end of a hose called? Its not really a nut is it?

Oh, and the 27mm nut is also used on the KTM dirt bikes rear axle, in case you have one of those.

Also used for the air pump fitting going to the cats, this is assuming someone still has cats and not an X-pipe.

Good advice on how not to smack yourself in the face also. Never would have thought about that.

Well not quite, the crankshaft bolt is typically removed with a deep socket, but a deep socket doesn't fit in the steering wheel, you need a standard socket on an extension.
