Anybody know how to remove the housing support and shaft from a tilt column?? I have it broke down as far as I can go. I removed the lower retainer, cover, and bearing, the horn contacts, turn signal switch, springs, screws, etc. Then I removed the upper bearing retainter nut, spacer and bushing.

The upper shaft now flops loosly in the upper bearing, and the lower end of the shaft is loose in the housing tube. I thought this would loosen the "housing support" (as named on page 137, item 23 - LMC Online), but no such luck. Now I am stuck. Anybody??
