as title i need to get a new one as mine is bent
Got a Haynes manual ?
Remove dash, there are two vertical bolts at the top holding the column to the bracket on the shell. One is a simple bolt the other needs drilling out
Support bracket halfway down - you will see what I mean, undo the bolt
Then remove the pinch bolt where the column meets the rack at the UJ and tap the column upwards and off.
As Edd says, a Haynes Manual will explain in more detail :thumb:
You can take the column out without removing the dash :)
Makes it a lot easier with it out though :) plus mines out at the minute so I couldn't have said for certain anyway lol
Dash can stay in..
A sharp thin chisel to shock the shear bolt head loose..
Shear bolt will turn out easily after that..
Dead easy..:)
can you buy a new colum tho
probably not now, good second hand one is the way forward
ernie would use a hammer and if that didnt work a bigger hammer lol
Don't ask baxter how he'd get it out lol
oxi lol
or an ax which ever he finds first lol
Is it damaged from a crash ?
Do you know that the steering wheel sits slightly on the piss in a nova from the factory ?
Slightly on the piss?! Understatement of the year lol that is how gangsta lean came about
lol gangsta lean lol
naa its not been in a crash just the colum has a little bend in from when i wacked the centre nut with 2 hamers to get old steering wheel off and now all i can hear when i go lock to lock is click click click click its annoying as funk
Your sure you've not fooked the top column bearing ?
Clearly went overboard, I hit my column with a hammer and pulled the wheel off, it was fine, just had to tidy up the thread a little bit with a thread file, and all is well...Quote:
