Hi Mike.
No the R75 are quite easy to remove so should be no blood coming from noses

cheers Arctic

Brilliant guide once again from Artic

Can I just add, a 5/8th socket worked much better at gripping the steering wheel bolt on my MK1 than a 16mm, no slip and no rounding of the bolt head at all.

Hi Ladies & Gents if the photo's go missing for a while it is because I am editing them, and they will be back as normal cheers Arctic.

I replaced my MGZT steering wheel yesterday with a refurbished Teak wooden steering wheel, after cleaning it a spraying it black satin looks and feels very nice

few pictures of the wheel before & after refurbish.

Another great guide, Arctic. Thank you. I've just removed my wheel and accidentally turned my rotary coupler. Only by a few degrees mind you. Have now taped it in place to stop it turning.

Referring to picture no. 30, is the white mark on the left hand side of the rotary coupler an indicator of it being in the correct position? Ie if it turned out of position, you wouldn't see the white mark?

Just making guesses here so may be way off the mark
