Here is the victum, its out of a full size jeep. I chose it because it was cheap, 35$ at a you pull it yard. 10$ off because the knuckle was loose. Oh ya it had a tan leather wheel on it also. I already pulled it off I hope everyone knows how to that.

This shows the lock plate remover depressing the lock plate so the snapring can be removed. I usually move the snap ring clear up onto the tool and leave it there. Its hard to loose it that way.

Good point - that's why the tool is shaped how it is - to hold the snap ring, and a perfect taper and transition back into place later.
Are you SURE everyone knows how to properly remove the wheel? Some aren't sure of the horn "button" or center cap..... Edited by billd - Sep/12/2011 at 6:56am |

I am rebuilding a tilt from a Camaro. I am actually only using the top portion of the column to replace the top portion of an AMC column that was a column shifted, to rebuild it as a floor shifted model. One thing to point out is all of the different internals that are used on the tilt column. There are many parts that can't be switched between a tilit and non-tilt column, besides the obvious...

After the snap ring is off the lock plate can b removed. This gives access to the horn contact ring and turn signal switch. The spring shown loads the bearings in the upper part of the column. Bumpson the back side of the horn ring along with the two small silver springs in the turn signal switch are what cancel the turn signals. The two springs often brake and can be replaced separately.

After the turn signal assembly is removed you can remove this small plastic piece,( on cars equipt this piece rund the buzzer to tell you that the key is in the ignition) its shown installed and removed on the bench. It has a metal spring piece with it that falls off and is difficult to tell how it goes once it comes apart. On this column under this plastic piece is a screw that holds in the ignition tumbler assy, and three larger screws that hold the upper housing to the lower knuckle.
