Re: Tilt Gurus need some help

I'm trying to figure out how to use that tool, from the lower end of the column to extract the shift tube? Whats it hook onto?

Anyway, I have never needed anything to extract the shift tube from the bowl, the fit is not loose but not tight either, the shift tube is just tubing which has a formed flat slot where the shift bowl attaches. From the top I spray WD-40 in the area to lube it and loosen the old grease up a bit.
Then I tap the shift tube flush to the shifter bowl with a brass drift.
I tap it the rest of the way out with a hammer on the shift arm at the lower end of the column while guiding the arm out of the slot in the steering column tube.
I have never encountered a problem tapping the shift tube out except for not guiding the lower lever through the slot opening.
