Guest k6tc Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I need to remove and repair the horn button on one side of my 1991 Cutlass International's heater/radio control unit in the center of the steering wheel. I believe they are metric but try as I might with a full set of both American and Metric nut drivers I just don't seem to have the right one? can anyone help me? k6tc 1991 Cutlass Supreme international coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 If you're talking about the ones on the back of the steering wheel, they were 7mm on my 89. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 My Craftsman socket fit. It was tight, but it fit. The cheapie no-name socket I have was too fat to fit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
