How to remove steering wheel in a 72 Dart?

Thanks AIV. Also downloaded a manual as well. Rust was a lot of my problems getting stuff apart. Trust me that I don't want to risk the integrity of my steering components. My wife and 4 kids will be frequent passengers. I never thought that the steering shaft and tube would not be one solid piece each much less be connected with plastic pourn in voids. Guess I learn something every day

You're welcome Lee.. As I understand it.. What your noticing are the plastic shear pins.. These are in place to facilitate the collapsibility of the column in the event of a front end collision. The idea is to prevent it from Turning into a spear.

Early generation safety measures.

Take care...
