As above, wiki advises its 22mm... Is that correct as it seems a bit small?

Yep. I've had mine on and off loads of times - it's a 22mm.

Leave the bolt on a couple of threads when removing the wheel to prevent injury.

Bolt? I thought there was just one nut holding it on?

Not me personally, I've always know to leave the nut/bolt on a couple of threads.

A few years ago me and my mate popped down to the local scrapyard to fetch some bits, I was taking something off a BMW, and he was pratting about with a Corsa. I spotted him out the corner of my eye wrestling something inside of the car. Thought nothing of it, next thing he's walking across the yard covered in blood with a steering wheel in his hand.
