It's a long story but last weekend bleed the brakes and notice a slight movement in the ma ter cylinder bulkhead even though it is 1/8 plate!

So i need to weld in some supports either side of the brake master cylinder. no probs except..

i can't reach 'cos the steering wheel in the way

how do you remove the steering wheel sierra centre horn??

prise it out with a flat bladed screwdriver, undo the nut or bolt. Then pull like billyo you may need to give it a bit of a bash from underneath

Leave the nut on a few turns so it doesn't come off suddenly and twit you in the face!

Pulling the wheel off will twit into your face...you're safe from the horn push unless you point the screwdriver towards yourself slip and then twit yourself with the end of the screwdriver!
