Tilt Gurus need some help
I just scored a tilt column here from an actual 71 pickup. Ive begun tearing into it to swap some parts around.
I'm encountering alot of resistance in the turn signal switch. Ive removed the three retaining screws. But when I pull the left side where Ive pointed isnt coming out. The side Im pointing on is actually on the left side when looking at it. Not sure why the pic didnt rotate What am I missing here? Thanks! Last edited by 72tutone; 03-11-2017 at 09:58 PM. Reason: p |

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
The wiring harness is holding it. Push on the harness from the bottom, and keep working it up.

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
I believe you have to remove the housing cover to remove that.
And to remove the cover you need a special puller. You can search the forum to download the service manual to review the procedure. |

Be very careful of the bearings. One of them is not available and the plastic cage is usually very brittle..... LockDoc

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
Well pushing in the wires from the column is definitely not it.
Any other ideas? I will check the service manual but I'm sure I'm missing something |

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
You are correct there is a puller for the housing. However, I'm just trying to get the turn signal switch out. The puller comes later

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
Making progress on disassembling my tilt column. How do I remove the tilt lever?
I dont see anything on the outside to get this removed. I read to knock off the cover to expose the bearing housing. But I cant do this with the shift lever in place. |

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
It screws out.
See the two flats near the housing.

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
This pic is looking directly down the tilt lever. If there is a screw in here I need new glasses.

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
Think of the tilt lever as a bolt, and just twist it counterclockwise. It unscrews easily.

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
After the overwhelming positive comments, Ive decided to forge forward in this quest of disassembly. I dislike not knowing how to do things, so Ive taken it on myself as a learning project.
Ive removed everything up to the point of removing the bearing assembly housing. This piece was laying in the bottom of the bowl. Ive looked at the exploded diagram and I dont see anything anywhere as to describe what this is. I dont think its the shoe release as the tilt is working fine. Could this be the plate in the support assembly? I havent even made it into that yet. |

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
Do yourself a huge favor. Box up the column and take it to 70 shortfleet in St.Peters,Mo. save yourself a lot of grief later as you are having problems with the simple part and the difficult part is yet to come.
