A big one.

:P

I think it was something like 28mm. I know that it was almost the biggest in my set.

Why don't you just measure it?

I already tried a 27mm (largest in my set), & it felt close to fitting.

Measuring it is too easy :wink:

Cherers.

U sure Metz? Just i already tried a 27mm socket & it felt slightly too 'small' to fit the nut for the steering wheel.

Cheers.
