Luftgekühlt 8 - Sunday, October 9, 2022 -- part 4

 

Removing the steering wheel & column stalk unit - part 2

Very large Allen bolt.

Happened to have an Allen wrench that fits.

This is a job for an Allen socket and an impact gun.

I don't have an Allen socket that large (I have an impact gun, both pneumatic & electric).

Extremely tight.

Used a 3 foot long pipe to turn the bolt.

Steering wheel is off the column.

Put the bolt back in it's place and reinstalled the airbag.

Just needs to be cleaned (pretty dirty/dusty).
