jim985 Member 76 Member For: 15y 7m 25d Gender: Male Location: Hunter Valley, NSW Posted 24/01/13 05:02 AM Author Share Posted 24/01/13 05:02 AM So I have started pulling apart the car to try and fix this issue. So far I have the steering wheel off, the plastic cover off the column and all the wires unplugged.I have hit a snag now as I don't know how to get the steering shaft off the part that I am trying to remove. I have take some photos of where I am up to with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
