Tilt Gurus need some help
1 Attachment(s)
I just scored a tilt column here from an actual 71 pickup. Ive begun tearing into it to swap some parts around.
I'm encountering alot of resistance in the turn signal switch. Ive removed the three retaining screws. But when I pull the left side where Ive pointed isnt coming out. The side Im pointing on is actually on the left side when looking at it. Not sure why the pic didnt rotate What am I missing here? Thanks! |

The wiring harness is holding it. Push on the harness from the bottom, and keep working it up.

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
I believe you have to remove the housing cover to remove that.
And to remove the cover you need a special puller. You can search the forum to download the service manual to review the procedure. |

Be very careful of the bearings. One of them is not available and the plastic cage is usually very brittle..... LockDoc |
Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
Well pushing in the wires from the column is definitely not it.
Any other ideas? I will check the service manual but I'm sure I'm missing something |

Making progress on disassembling my tilt column. How do I remove the tilt lever?
I dont see anything on the outside to get this removed. I read to knock off the cover to expose the bearing housing. But I cant do this with the shift lever in place. |
Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
It screws out.
See the two flats near the housing. |

Tilt just unscrews to the left. In case thats still in your way.

Think of the tilt lever as a bolt, and just twist it counterclockwise. It unscrews easily.

This pic is looking directly down the tilt lever. If there is a screw in here I need new glasses.

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
OMG. It's the simple things in life. Thank you everyone. I was looking for a screw and didn't realize the actual lever was the actual item to loosen. Oy ve. Shoot me now

Re: Tilt Gurus need some help
Do yourself a huge favor. Box up the column and take it to 70 shortfleet in St.Peters,Mo. save yourself a lot of grief later as you are having problems with the simple part and the difficult part is yet to come.

After the overwhelming positive comments, Ive decided to forge forward in this quest of disassembly. I dislike not knowing how to do things, so Ive taken it on myself as a learning project.
Ive removed everything up to the point of removing the bearing assembly housing. This piece was laying in the bottom of the bowl. Ive looked at the exploded diagram and I dont see anything anywhere as to describe what this is. I dont think its the shoe release as the tilt is working fine. Could this be the plate in the support assembly? I havent even made it into that yet. |
