Anyone have any photos of the steering wheel eccentric ring in situ?

[Sky-drive]

Does anyone have any photos or images of the eccentric ring located between the steering column and steering column electric motor? I would like to have a go at adjusting mine and some imagery would certainly help.

This thread seems to contain the most photos i've found so far....

Just use an 8mm flex headed ratchet spanner. Makes access easy and turns it into a 10 min job.

Yeah most people don't have an 8mm flex headed ratchet spanner buddy. OP don't listen to this snob.
Just use a plain old 8mm wrench and try to wiggle it in there.

What a strange way to introduce yourself - why not post some pics of your Zed or a bit about yourself if you're visiting or looking for a Zed. Plenty of helpful advice on here learnt by bitter experience in most cases and shared to make other forum members lives easier.

Charming.

FYI, if you don't use a ratchet headed spanner, you won't be able to swing it enough to get the spanner on the next set of flats.

I actually did this job today to my Z4. I found the easiest method was using a 6 mm bit and a brake bleeder wrench.
None of you mere mortals have probably ever even heard of a brake bleeder wrench.
