Re: Tilt Steering column

You can remove the cover with a screwdriver and a hammer, ive done it dozens of times, use your best newest screwdriver with a sharp edge, there is a groove on the bottom I think, cant remember the exact location. Start there then move around. Helps to secure the column is a holding fixture nice and tight. Also use the tilt mechanism to get best access.

You can borrow my puller with a deposit and pay shipping both ways....I would need a $150 deposit....

Re: Tilt Steering column

Here is one on ebay, I think the only difference is the pressure bolt is shorter, different part number but It might be the same tool.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
