that metal piece has to come off to see the spline
that piece looks like the horn earthing ring

looks like the steering wheel has to come off for an acurate measurement

you might get lucky by tugging the steering wheel off
keep the nut on a few threads to stop hitting yourself in the head

or you need a puller tool (the type that is threaded )

you then need a piece of string to measure the spline
to get the diamenter you half the lenght of string
