I think it's bigger than a 19" Neil, pretty sure it's either a 21 or 22"

Yep 22mm
Don't forget to put the key in the ignition on the 1st click to release the steering lock or the wheel won't come off

Don't also forget to leave the nut on a couple of turns, otherwise you risk knocking your front teeth it when you try to pull it off... once loose, remove the nut.

Got to say that i have never had a problem pulling a steering wheel off very easily one the nut was removed and the ignition on.

If you have one of those 4 socket wheel braces one will be the right size.
