March 14, 200917 yr Its sheer-joy when they come off and the gear cluster looks pretty good so it should be ready to trials pretty soon with plenty of spares left over!! Dave
March 15, 200917 yr I cannot find the reference number but I went into my local car accesory shop and bought what is a puller for vauxhall steering wheels.I remeber the big isue with most pullers is the gap behind the gear is very small.
