Re: body lift questions

For the steering, just remove the shaft from the rag joint and the bolt from the base of the column.
With it in a vise, just drill out the 2 plasitc nubs [only need to go down maybe an 1/8"] Then tap the pieces apart and after a couple taps, it will slide freely. Reinstall the shaft and when it's at the right length just drill the dimple all the way thru and install a steel or nylon bolt.

Gas tank is like stated above. Just drop the tank and move up the brackets and then reinstall the tank.
