Default re-installing steering wheel

My other thread was deleted so....

I needed some help to re-install a steering wheel. It seems pretty straight-forward although there is one question I have:
When I put the wheel back on the shaft, how tight must the nut be? Can I do it by hand or is it mandatory to use a torque wrench? If so, whats the amount of torque?

Any other pieces of useful info that can be provided?

If I were you I'd just leave it off. The nut that holds the wheel is more trouble than it's worth.

Sorry Triv, but I've seen you ruin plenty of others. You're just getting a dose of your own medicine.

To answer your question, I'd just tighten it. If you want a torque figure you can look that up as well as the next person.

I still think the problem is with the nut that holds the wheel though.

True... You may want to reconsider what you post when you need help later.

What a good ambassador you are for the site. No wonder all the Honda Tech members refer to the moderators here as Nazis. What a shame.

You are correct. I stand corrected.
