Re: Shortening a steering column
My intermediate shaft didn't want to collapse very easy. I ended up drilling out the plastic pins and still had to beat it to collapse the shaft.
I also slid my column (72 van tilt) down as close to the dash as I could get it. I used the 67 C-10 method when I slid mine down to position my column and hold it in place.
It did give me more gut room & I always leave the column in the full tilt up position. Much more comfortable to drive & I'm NOT a big man 5' 10" & 183 Lbs and now a pleasure to drive. I also added a thicker rubber bump stop for the brake pedal so I don't have to lift my leg so high to hit the brake. Bearing down on the brake pedal as hard as I can I still have 3 fingers between the back side of the brake pedal and the floorboard.
