Removing Steering Shaft Bearing

The pin is a devil to get out. I tried a hammer, and a air hammer and I didn't have any kind of puller to press it out. I ended up pulling the column and pulling the shaft out of the tube. That process was pretty easy. I replaced the bushing and rebuilt the joint and put it back together. Make sure you mark the way the parts come apart. The joint keys onto the steering gear one way but if you assemble the joint backwards your steering wheel will be upside down. Don't ask how I know. lol tmm
