Re: Steering Column: Seeking assistance identifying some parts, etc.
Lots of parts from Mel and many to go. I have everything apart but:
Once the pot joint is removed from the upper shaft spindle, happen to know if the pot joint just pulls right out of the intermediate shaft? I can pull it back, but the dust boot seems to grab hold like the world's best %%%%%. Seems there's more to it than the dust boot.
Also, how is the lower bearing removed/installed? By chance are they pounding on the shaft (video post #11) to seat that bushing on install? Other than that, having taken this apart, I don't see why they're doing that.
