gm steering column
I have a 1985 full size chevy van with a tilt steering wheel. The rack broke in the steering column. I have the rebuild kit for the rack but i am having a really hard time getting the column apart. Any input on how to do this will really be appreciated. Thanks! Don

Do you have the necessary tools?
You're going to need a steering wheel puller, a lock plate depressor and a tilt pin remover (or a couple of 8-32 machine screws and some diagonal pliers).
Do you have an exploded view of the column? I can probably post one here if you don't
A good service manual will be necessary to complete the job. While it's not absolutely necessary, it'll sure make things easier. A Haynes manual *may* have the info you need. If not, check the local public library for a professional service manual (Mitchell or Motors or genuine GM).
