RE: Steering Column Seal

[Willard Edison <waedison@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've only done it once Mike and had no problem, so it has to be classifed
"easy". There's a little snap ring that has to come out of groove in the
steering shaft. You'll see it, then steering shaft slides out of the column.
I regreased the bearing while I had mine apart. I replaced the turn signal
switch also, so am not sure you need the next tip, but if you have to pull
the wires up from the column, tie a piece of string to them, makes it easier
to thread them back through when you assemble it.

That makes sense. I haven't looked at the other end of the shaft yet, other
that taking the wheel off. Is there much involved in taking the shaft from
the column?
