well i cant seem to find anything on how to do this

so could someone walk me thro it?

 

Each end of the shaft has a couplings that has a 'pinch bolt'...
Loosen those bolts, slide the shaft up farther onto the 'upper steering column shaft', then remove the lower end from the 'steering box'..
Then take the upper part off by sliding back down the steering column shaft part..

 

I did it in the other direction. Getting it back together wasn't easy. Wish I had known!

 

mine doesnt budge i tookout the bolt in the column and the one a ways lower but nothing wants to move

 

You gotta smack on the upper edge of it with a hammer.

 

Well, yea, it's a 94. It's going to probably need some convincing with a hammer. I just used a rubber mallet and knocked it loose with that. It seems like it's more of a chore than it really is, lol. Don't worry, it'll come off.

 

WD40 may help loosen it up

 

ok i got it off it worked and everything.. i couldnt get the botom to budge so i just took off the top, but anywho... how do i get it back on?

 

I took it off the other day for the rag joint replacement (EXCELLENT). It took me the better part of 2 hours to get it off (demonically posessed). Took me all of 3 minutes to get it back on. I stuck a long, tough screwdriver into the oval hole at an angle, and used it to hammer it back in.

I don't know how hammering it off is done. I can't generate enough momentum between the shaft and firewall. Only a very small Bruce Lee could use a 1" punch down there.

 

Getting it back on was the hard part for me. More specifically, getting it lined up right so it could be hammered back on. I ended up having to grine on the clamp a bit to get it started back onto the shaft. Once I got it started, it was not difficult.
