Tilt Column: Lock plate removal
I have a 91 GMC 5.7L: That has tilt steering and its lose I have removed the steering wheel now I am looking at a metal plate or sprocket. My question is how do you remove this. Does this need a gear puller to remove it.

Re: Need help w/ Tilt Collum
The “Lock Ring” holds it on. It has a spring behind it. Notice the tool being used to compress the spring so the lock ring can be removed.
