Steering Column Shaft

The teeth in the top of the shaft are messed up and so are the threads where the steering wheel bolts on. I have a steering column that I can still the shaft from.I am guessing that a previous owner must have not had the teeth aligned with the flat spot on the wheel and shaft and messed up the threads on both.
Understood. But please trust us. Steering columns are tedious enough jobs when servicing them correctly. I just refurbished the three on the tree column in my 64 Valiant not long ago. Not the first column I've ever removed by a long shot, but was the first manual column I've done. I took my time. One step at a time with my factory service manual right on the bench and it came out great. Just go slow and easy and pace yourself. You'll get it done. If you get hung up on something, give us a shout and we'll try to help.
