1969 steering column removal
I just need a little help here
I have all the hardware that I can see removed, the bolts under the dash are removed.
I also removed the bolts around the lower round disk that conects the streering shaft to the steering gear you know what im talking about..
so now the only thing I see that is stoping me from removing this thing is up at the fire wall, It is a lever I have no clue what it is for? with springs and such conected to it..
how do I remove this bizatch?
thanks johnny :thumbs:

Re: 1969 steering column removal (phrogs)
There is a slot in the firewall and the engine side firewall bracket. It faces the engine and is about 2" long. You cannot see it from above.
If you line up the arm that had ( hopefully you removed it ) the cable attached to it the whole thing will slide through the firewall.
