Nut size question

[spook]

Hey guys,

I need to know what size the nut is that holds the steering wheel in. It's the one that you access under the hood right before the U joint. I think it's an 18mm, but seeing as how I don't have one, I couldn't make sure.

Also to the Kansas guys, if it is an 18mm, I'll be needing to borrow an 18mm socket tomorrow.

Thanks,
Brandon

I just had to replace mine.

18mm on the nut side and I think 14mm or 15mm on the bolt side. This is how my 85 Mustang was.
