Any particular "trick" to prying the horn off to get at the nut? Where do you stick the screwdriver blade? I don't want to spoil anything!

Many thanks

As onove, just give it a pull, and then unplug the wires no the back, they are colour coded so easy to re-plug in! Make sure the steerin lock is not on, ie turn the keys in ignition, or the wheel will not come off. :) Mark its position also :)

Would be interesting to have a go after these few years. Seem to be able to keep up with my daughter's GCSEs. I'll tell you after next year, but then that's too late! Good luck
