Why is so much effort being spent in "repairing" the shafts. Where are they going to go? You, Jules, said you needed a sledge to remove the shafts from each other. You are restoring them, so I see why you are doing it, but for the rest of us, who will ever see it? The upper shaft is held in at top, and the lower shaft is held in at the steering box. The only force on them is in rotation.

There is a right and wrong way to restore or repair a shaft. Doing it right will have several benefits. 1- Its safe. 2- It wont rattle. 3- Its done correct and not hacked up.

It also looks like Julius is replating the shafts with a brite dip coating which will destroy the plastic.. I am currently rebuilding my column and I am going to use the epoxy method. Also I found the perfect tool to seperate the two shafts...(Torsion bar remover on left of pic)
