Quote: To get the column out, get a punch and knock the roll pin out that I circled in your pic. Unplug the wiring,remove the bolts that hold the bottom plate of the column to the firewall, and take the nuts off the bottom of the mount, and then the column should pull out. You may have to pry the coupler back at the steering box to get it started out. 2 people work better than one doing this the first time. One to pull back on the column, and one to pry the coupler back. Hope this helps.
Thanks! It's actually funny because another guy on FABO just happened to post a very similar reply and I just asked him to make sure what the roll pin was. Would you say this roll pin would be reusable as the coupler I have is lacking one?
