Right to Left Conversion #2
sirfixalot:
Is the tube at top broken from metal fatigue ? or are you just trying to get the ring out
sirfixalot:
Looks to me you just slide it up at about 2 o clock. before removing put some texta on top side for re- assembly

There is a bit of a trick to getting it out. A small twist and a lift and it should fall out. Just can't seem to get it out. Even found a video on youtube, just wont come out.
Have to change the bottom tube on the column due to the tube being compressed for the right hand conversion. The shaft is ok just the tube. Have the rest of the column apart.

Never had a problem getting the ring out, perhaps it is bent in slightly

So I decided to put my steering column back together and after realising that the shift tube that I got was slightly collapsed I thought no problem Ill deal with that. So i exteded it back to where it needs to be and it seems tight enough but when I started to put it together I noticed my nicely painted steering tube is modified/cut up. Can't believe I didnt pick up on it.
Question is for those that know, how detrimental are the extra ears/extension. Do they stop the lock plate from moving up and down and allow the lock tube to move smoothly? Or do I go out and find another tube?
What a pain in the backside :banghead:
