If you haven't got a 22mm a 7/8" will work

A tip is once undone wind the nut back on a couple of threads whilst you free the steering wheel from the splines. Otherwise you run the risk if it freeing and it ending up in your face as you have to give it some beans when pulling

Another tip - it won't come off if the steering lock is engaged.
