I would like to remove my CCU but can't work out how to get it past the indicator stalk.
I have read the threads and Tim did a great guide, which said
I've done this recently and on a RHD car it at first appears to be impossible:
1. Free it off using the stereo removal keys.
2. If it's never been out before: snip the cable tie that holds the bundle of cables going into the CCU. If you don't do this, at best you'll only slide it out a few inches.
3. 'While you're down there', free off the nut that secures the indicator stalk unit to the sleeve around the steering column. I thinks M8 or M10 and is easily accessed through the hole in the underside of the plastic housing behind the steering wheel. This allows you to rotate the stalks clear of the CCU when you slide it out.
However I am stuck on point 3. Do I have to remove the steering wheel to be able to get to the nuts to rotate the stalk? I can't see any hole in the underside of the housing.
Many thanks
