No need to remove anything apart from the trim pieces immediately in front of the dash and either side , there are 2 large and 2 small torx screws, remove the 2 large and get something like a trim tool at the top of the cluster and lever down and it will come forward.Quote:

This link from the Powerful Uk website shows the removal of a D3 steering wheel and the tool (not the dimensions though). Hope its of some use. They have them for sale too, so the product pictures may also be of use if you were wanting to fabricate your own.

If you do need to remove the wheel, I made an airbag removal "tool" by bending a tight hook that fit through the slot out of 1.6mm TIG rod.
I've got it out so far, then I can't pull it any more.

I've twisted it left and right, in and out, wriggle around a lot in the same spot.

You have to remove that trim directly in front of the dash, which entails removing the under column panel and undoing the 4 screws.Quote:

I think I'll have a beer now.
Who are Perth services these IP, or is the UK and USA the only people.
Or what's Next?
For the life of me the last two days looking all through my workshop as I'm sure I had a D3 cluster, alas no such luck.Quote:

Try Maddington auto wreckers, carole st maddington i think, they always have a few d2 / d3
Thank for the info, your close by.
I'm sure I have to find one with less klm on the clock, as you can add to the IP but you can't subtract. At 150.000 in don't like my chances.
