Re: "Will it Ever Get Done?"

I do not know who originally posted or who I got these from on the board, but they sure helped me a lot when doing my tilt. It's a fair bit different than a car tilt.


I did find having this tool is critical

I guess you could make one, but I had heard a number of folks ruining the pins with homemade tools.

My schedule won't allow me to put together a good how too for a week or so, so hopefully those of you that are trying this can make sense from these photos like I did.

Some quick notes about the pictures and what Iran into.
My column set exposed to the elements for a while, so it had a lot of surface corrosion, so some of the things I had to modify

Picture 1. I could not use a gear puller, it jut kept pulling the lip out. I had to use a small blade screw driver and some PB blaster. I had to tap it out from the edge between the cover and column collar

Picture 5 - again corrosion played a factor. I hand to put the column in a vice and use a block of wood to tap (beat) the collar off the inner tube. Using a socket to try and tap the tube through only fubar'd the end of the tube up.
