Removing The Steering Column
Ok guys I need some help here. I'm getting ready to swap out the non tilt column for a tilt column in my '90 Burb V2500. I've looked for threads on this and haven't found any REAL answers to my questions so I thought I'd ask those of you who've done this deed in the past.
This is what I know I'll have to loosen/remove to get the old one out... LOWER DASH BEZEL LOWER DASH COVER PLATE DISCONNECT PRNDL WIRE REMOVE 2 MOUNTING NUTS UNDER DASH DISCONNECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER, TURN SIGNAL, IGNITION AND NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCHES REMOVE MOUNTING BOLTS AT FIREWALL (HOW MANY?) UNDER HOOD REMOVE HAIRPIN CLIP FROM TRANNY LINKAGE & PUSH LINKAGE OUT OF ARM. REMOVE MOUNT -THROUGH BOLT AT END OF UPPER COLUMN ASSEMBLY. Is this ALL I need to do to pull the column or are there any other bolts unbeknownst to me? Inquiring minds need to know. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Re: Removing The Steering Column
I think you pretty much got it you did forget to mention the vent tube that runs under the column If your burb is equipped with them.

Re: Removing The Steering Column
Vent tube!? Are you talking about the vacuum tube for the cruise control that feeds down to the brake pedal switch? If so, thats not installed.......YET.

Re: Removing The Steering Column
I think he means the a/c duct that goes to the vent near your left knee.

I run mine on vent most of the year. The only time I don't is during ice or snow fall. I realize where you are that happens a lot more often, but I still prefer the heat to hit me them everything else. |

Re: Removing The Steering Column
There is a column mount attached to the firewall under the brake booster that needs to be removed. It has two 15mm nuts. Normally it is a pain to get access too.
