Defender Steering Wheel washer under nut??

[pormpaul]

Hi all,

Was just cleaning the defender (2002 extreme) when I pulled on the steering wheel to sit up straighter and the wheel came off in my hands...

(glad I was not doing a 100 down the highway :eek:)

Nut was loose inside the cover. Ive put steering wheel back on but Should there be a washer between the nut and wheel???

Thanks

yeah there is a lock washer.

similar to the ones on brake lines, with little external fingers.

Thats what you get for cleaning a defender :)

Lock washer was missing. Someone must have had the steering wheel off and not replaced it. Can I use a standard washer and bend the sides up...
