[Axel Kain]

PB blaster and some light hammer hits... just enough to get it free.

if you mean P'Blaster with the yellow cap and the funky label, thats' what I've been using. with some light hammer hits... and its not being nice

...you have the bolt all the way out? I think it has a divet in the shaft so it only goes one way, that thru bolt will hold it on the shaft.

 

if the bolt is out, hit it harder/seperate the split!

I was thinking that... but I really don't want to break that piece of the steering column. if it does break. I am in deep doo-doo.

 

I got a cold steel chisel that has a widened wedge that I can try when I get back to the house.

 

I did remove the bolt, I saw that it has a divet along the splines so the bolt must be completely removed... well I saw that on a picture of one on ebay. LOL.

 

Thanks, I'll give'r a go tomorrow night

I have never been able to remove the I-shaft from the column. I ended up giving up on all of them before I they came free. I even used an acetylene torch to cherry it up. Maybe us northerners have too much rust buildup?

hey it's definately in there. i'll give her a pop tomorrow. I don't want to bend the bolt-clamp too much... i REALLY don't want to remove the steering column if it *bleeps* up. LOL

 

 

stupid north! why does it have to be so close to the north pole! *shakes fist*
