Re: non tilt steering column refurb links

ok well start from the bottom and see if I can be disciplined enough to keep taking pictures.

start by putting the new boot onto the Lower steering shaft #26. these can be gotten from wes at classic heartbeat and inline tube has them as well.
This boot is inside #25 the intermediate coupling.
the clip ring is a pain to get on but keep fighting it and third hand helps.


put on your square end nut things and the little clippy deal that goes on top.


Grease the crap out of it. I used high temp grease because thats what I had handy. I gooed up the end including inside those square nuts.


Then fill the coupler with the same grease.


Then slide the shaft into the coupler. it only goes one way.


Then put in the clip ring to hold the gasket in place. Put the non bent side in first. you can see the clip has a rise so it can go back over itself.


more to come...
