Guest WALFY Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Smo Just drill out the shear bolts CAREFULLY. If you slip with the drill you'll take out the ali housing. As for the nuts and bolts, its just that nuts and bolts. A small plate on the b/head where the column pokes through and 2 bolts at the base where it joins the steering rod(?) which joins it ti the steering box. Don't forget the bolt that joins to the b'head on the inside, located by the vent lever/ wheelbox for wipers. PITA to get to. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Dont bother drilling out the shear bolts - just use a chisel to make a slot in the top for a screw driver - they are not tight, and the material is so soft the slot is made easily If you want some spares give me a shout, I've got some lying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve King Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Most shear bolts can easily be removed by dotting them around with a centre punch & a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
