Goldbug
SILVER Star
I’m attempting to disassemble my steering column to install a bushing (currently it’s loose in the firewall with a big gap). But I don’t know if I can get the shaft out? Should I be able to slide the ignition switch piece up toward the wheel? First pic. The FSM seems to skip some steps.
The PO installed FJ60 power steering and shortened and welded the shaft, so I can’t pull it through the firewall towards the cab.
I’m hoping to remove the ignition switch apparatus and slide it out toward the engine, then install the bushing.
Is that possible and if so, how do I get the ignition apparatus off? I did got the snap ring off but the bearing seems to like its current position and I’m hesitant to start whacking at it.
