Is the bearing cup just stuck in here?

[vandercookd]

I'm trying to do some work on the steering column for my '67 (three on the tree). The lower bearing on the steering shaft was completely shot and pretty much just fell apart on me. I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. Is the part that I've got an arrow pointing to the bearing cup just stuck in the adjusting ring?

Yes. It is a press fit. It is further held into the cup by the steering shaft retaining clamp that rides in the bearing.

Thanks. That's kind of what I figured was going on. Just wanted to make sure before I tried to press it out of there. It's been tough to find clear diagrams of all of the parts of the shaft--especially for a three on the tree.

Thanks for the link... They've got marked as '69-'72, but it looks just like what I have, so I'm guessing it'll work.
