Nope, didn’t realise that weird shaped thing was a locking nut. 🙄 will have a go at removing that one tomorrow.
Thanks for the info! 1 step closer to getting the old girl back on the road this year! 👍
Hi,
trying to refurnish steering rack with some new bits from OPG. Opel in there wisdom thought was a good idea to put an aluminium end cap with 15mm nut. As you can see it’s turned to mush, any tips to remove? And does anyone have a replacement in the shed I could replace with?
Thanks!
Expensive but try and find another pair, I know drivers side is super rare.
Also I was unlucky enough to get hit on rear quarter, would be nice to know panels could be replaced at a lower price than that eBay item!
Found this one on ebay Germany, maybe the club should be purchasing to remanufacture?

I know mate, I was first to respond but couldn’t get cash over as I was on holiday! Gutted, but found one for an Astra which I will modify for £80!
Was hoping to find a twin system for the commodore with those tips but even rarer than rockin horse poo!
