Steering column reassembly help
Im trying to reassemble my column after cleaning it up and powder coating. Does anyone know where I can get a shift tube puller (tool#J-23073) or has anybody made their own?
Thanks in advance

Are you asking about a Steering Column Lockplate Compressor?

The step I'm at in the assembly is trying to pull the shift tube assembly into the gear shift lever bowl. I need to know where I can get the proper tool to do this, or if someone has made their own?

Sorry,
I don't have any information on the shift tube puller. Even if you could get the shift tube pressed out of the bowl, you will also need another special tool to reassemble it. If there was any way to mask everything but the bowl, I would use that approach.
