Already removed shift lever and set screw. Collar was pressed on the shift tube. Took some taping with a mallet to get collar off the tube. Now, how does the tube come off the steering shaft or vice-a-versa? At present, it does not slide off. There is an obvious seal at one end, but it has no apparent tabs. A small diameter wire spring presses into this seal and seats against a large diameter wire snap ring looking device. There is no apparent grooves for this snap ring, but at around .180 in diameter, it’s not going to be easily spread . It will spin on the shaft, but won't spread open without a pretty monster set of pliers. The upper tube is flopping around on the shaft.
