Default More steering column questions

I have the column on my 78 apart to the point the turn signal switch is out of the way. Not sure how to go any deeper. Does anyone have a link to Shea Papers on steering columns....I was unable to find them.

Is anyone able to tell if I have a pin or a bolt type pivot from the following Pic?

All you have left to do is pull the lock cylinder out, buzzer switch and those three big Phillips screws. Then the directional switch housing will pull right off. Be careful as the steering column lock pin sometimes sticks in the housing. You may need a punch and a small hammer to tap on it
