Re: 72 tilt column
First pic is the lower bearing
Second is the 4 bolts that get loose Third is the upper pivot, the bearing nut is removed in that shot. It’s clamped in the vise by the steering shaft.

Re: 72 tilt column
Thanks for the help guys! I've tightened the bolts up it 70s camaros a trucks before, they weren't too bad. I somehow knew this would be more difficult! How is the lower bearing removed from the steering shaft? Would it be easier to convert a van tilt over than fix my column? I bought a 1980 chevy van/rv to part out and it has a nice solid tilt in it, already robbed the short shift lever to put in my truck. The shifter pin hole in my column is worn out also, so there is that problem to deal with to. Joseph
