Default Which tools are going to be needed ??

Hi, I've got a MY99 uk turbo impreza and i want to change the steering wheel.

I've got the new hub kit and wheel so am good to go,my only problem is that my lock up is around 15 miles away and my tools are in the garage here at home. Does anyone know what tools i'm going to need.

I know that there are screws holding the airbag on are these going to need a phillips or flathead ??

What size is the nut holding the wheel on ??

10mm for the battery terminals.

Is there anything else i'm forgetting ?

Thanks in advance

The screws on the airbag are torx iirc, mine certainly were, i think the locking nut was 19mm but take a socket set and you should be fine.

Rubber Mallet may come in handy

Soft hammer will probably be very useful, however remember to leave the nut on as you don't want to damage the thread, and don't smack it too hard as it is possible to knacker the seals in the steering column and **** steering fluid all over the place. I did it to my last car .

Aplogise if that's teaching you to suck eggs.
