am swaping out manual for power steering.
Can't even get the origional column out GRRR!
At the end of the steering shaft where it slides over the shaft of the steering box it won't budge.
Where I assume a pin should be is a tubular something stuck in as a 'retainer' but it has become completely one with the housing and I cannot for the life of me get it out.
I've broken 2 screwdrivers so far trying to whack it out....guess I'll try heat tommorrow and if that don't work drill it out although it seems to be made of the worlds toughest material...
Anyone ever have fun like/with this before?
BTW Am I going to have remove my header to get that steering box off? I am aren't I.....lol
