Miller Detroit C-4117 U TILT STRNG LOCK NUT The wording is old and not so clear as it's been used a time or ten. Had to buff it a bit to find the tool number on it. I think that the middle word is STRNG as if to abbreviate it. Do a Google search - they are on eBay now and then. I forgot that I even had this tool - it's part of the tool stash I got from my former boss years ago along with Kent-Moore tools. Likely you'll find the Miller Detroit version a whole lot easier to find than the Kent Moore version. |

Thanks, 1970390AMX for a great write up! While replacing the turn signal switch on my 69 AMX I found a lot of white sand in the column! The car previously lived in Florida! It was caked so I ended up taking the outer column off completely. The upper bearings were full of sand. Now I'm starting to put it all back together. It's not a tilt column so that makes it simpler. Looking for diagrams. Is the 69 column the same as GM? I've heard Camaro or Corvette? The SM doesn't have detailed diagrams so looking for pointers.

I believe the bearing in this kit will do the job: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364362076671 It doesn't say '70, but the internals of the '70 and up columns are pretty similar.
