How to remove PS box

cool! so in this case OP could simply slide the column back a few inches and maybe bungee cord it still while he does the rebuild...??
beware = those coupling shoes do wear out but if theres no play I like the idea of leaving it as is :thumbsup:

Perxactly. The only downside is with column shift. The column rarely bolts back in exactly the same spot. If linkage changes / neutral safety switch adjustment is lost... you have to crawl under at trans to correct it. Shifter in neutral position, Loosen one bolt in adjust block, check trans lever is centered in neutral, retighten bolt. Done
HHMMMM. with steering centered the split pin should be vertical at engine side of coupling. Master spline at top. Drive pin straight down and out. Maybe you have headers in the way.
