    Defender Steering Wheel washer under nut??

    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 )

    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.

    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...
