van tilt column, installing lower gasket/plate???

[chevy_mike]

Hi everyone,

I am getting to the point of mocking up my van tilt column and am curious how do I remove the firewall mounting plate from my original non tilt column and install the new gasket and plate on my tilt? Both of these are auto columns so they have the arms at the bottom so you can't just slide these parts off.

I don't recall anyone talking about this recently.

Thanks!
