Are the upper and lower bearings easy to find for the steering shaft? I have mine apart and would like to replace before installing. Thanks

Thanks DPowes.

Found it. Last question. Is it pressed in and how does one remove it?

I don't think they are pressed in.

They are pressed-on...with a little gentle persuasion, they come off. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Thanks Tony, Glad to see your back. Today was my Birthday. My wife said I could do whatever I wanted. Go any where,do anything, so I choose to replace my steering column with one I bought from LILRED. First time installing and it went great.

I pulled the truck in the carport and smelt gas. After looking under the hood, gas was dripping from the inline filter onto the exhaust manifold.

NOT COOL. I read a post awhile back and saw the results. I will finish the filter replacement tomorrow.
