1970 B Body Steering Column

Hello I am in the midst of tearing down my 1970 Dodge Charger steering column. It is an auto on the column shifter type. My question is how do you remove the flange near the upper part of the shaft. Or is it removable at all? I've attached pics with my situation. Please view all pics (4).

Thanks in advance.

yes , were your yellow arrows pointing carefully slide that collar up to expose the pin underneath, drive it out and you got it...pat

Thanks Pat that did the trick!!!
It's amazing how much you work on things and then you stumble across a head scratcher. Something so simple yet hidden from your eyes. I didn't want to just start pounding on things not knowing what was going to happen and cause potential damage.

Thanks again

Glad to have helped , I believe the procedure is in the (f s m) factory service manual. wait till you do a 1968 a little more interesting

Thanks again Pat, sent you a PM
