Re: tilt

Yes Wes is the man to see for these, I bought all my bearings from him, we did discover that the tilt has two bearings in the upper part of the column, so three in total...A quote from Wes...
Quote:
The upper column has 2 bearings, an upper / upper, and a lower / upper. What I sent is the lower / upper bearing. The upper / upper has been discontinued and isn't made in the aftermarket that I am aware of. However I have located 2 in Puerto Rico and am having one shipped to me.
I have only replaced the lower most bearing but not the two upper bearings as I have yet to buy the special tool needed to dismantle this part of the column.

Thanks for the info., didnt expect it that quick! Never thought Wes would have such an obscure part....

The 'tool' i used to remove those pins was just a socket and a nut bolt and washer, made my own puller
