First of all..i'm new here..but love my 68 c/10...i've read all the posts concerning my issue but cant , for the life of me figure this one out...
ok I'm trying to collapse my steering column a bit to add some room between wheel and seat... Well I did everything (removed rag joint..loosened column strap..collar , drilled out plastic tips on steering shaft...now..there isnt enough room to hammer column up from steering box to collapse..... Ok so I figure I must need to remove entire column to take entire unit to bench to hammer on? How do i remove entire column? does it come through cab or underneath? do I need to remove steering wheel? I really thought if I loosened the clamp that the shaft would separate from column under the hood and I could remove that section only then collapse it on the bench.....very frustrating as I worked on it all day...ahhaha any input would be helpful and much appreciated... thx. kevin |

Re: Help with steering column please
To remove the column you need to:
Unhook the wires, take the bolts/screws out of the 2 retainer plates on the firewall (1 on the inside & 1 outside), you already have your rag joint disconnected, so you dont have to do that There is a bracket under the dash that holds the column up & it needs to come out also Undo your shift linkage And if I remembered everything, then you just fish the thing out through the cab I have done it with the steering wheel on & it makes it a lil harder, but it also gives you something to hold onto |
