1968 C10 4spd on floor bottom bearing steering column

[sambudo]

Can anyone tell me are these bearings rebuildable?
How do you get the bearing seperated from the housing?
Whats the best way to get grease into the bearing.

Does anyone sell these complete ready to install? I have found the bearing by itself and the housing, but not sure how they come together. can some one help me. This is the only thing holding me up from putting my column back together.

Thanks for the help.Attachment 1244698, Attachment 1244699, Attachment 1244700,

Can you remove this retaining ring and felt to get to the bearing?

Side view of the bearing.

It's probably pressed in.

Bearing is pressed in, just need to tap it out to separate it from the housing, rebuilt my 67 column this winter and had to do the same thing.

How do you get the replacement one back in? Do you have to have a machine shop put it in? Or did you do it your self? Thanks

I was able to put it back in myself and figured the assembly of the column would hold it in the right place nice and tight. Did you have any luck getting the old one out?

I haven't tried it yet! I hope to work on it tonight. Thank you. Scott
