Re: steering wheel tilt problems

Hit up Orielly for the lock plate removal tool. They have it on the loaner program. They'll have the side pin removal tool in the tools section too. You'll have to buy it, like $15-20 iirc. I had to do mine as well, and actually got it all apart once making the tools. But I had to take it back apart to install an extra part I discovered after reassembly, and had to buy the side pin remover tool because my homemade one didn't survive. Believe me, it was a lot quicker just getting the right tools for the job.

Re: steering wheel tilt problems

i actually managed to find the tools i needed quite easy and pretty cheap. i went by a video i seen on youtube. bad thing is that his column was a little different then mine... i did manage to tighten up the 4 bolts. after some struggling thats about all i can say ive done so far. i bumped the column and knocked some of the ball bearings out and i can't finish putting it together till i find a bearing. does anyone know where to get parts like that? i looked threw lmc truck but all i see is new steering set ups.
