you have to drill out the pin holding it on.you may be a may be able to tap it out with a hammer but drilling is usually required.

That thing was a bitch on my car. I think the little roll pin is hardened.

Knock the roll pin out with a pin driver. Yes, they are usually quite difficult to drill.

I just use a punch that is just about the same size as the pin. That way it is not spreading it at the same time you are trying to drive it out.

I just took apart 2 steering columns. I used a 1/4 inch brass drift to knock the pin out.

Sawzall !  Yep, that's what I'm gonna take to mine soon. The guy before me took the shift lever out, but now I want to cut off the little extension on the collar where it went in. I just have to think of a good way to patch the hole...

I have 2 complete steering column collar sets that I want to sell. If you do not want to have to wait on your collars while you are modifiing them just make me an offer on the ones that I have. The shipping will be $10.00 per set unless you buy both. gathright408@bellsouth.net[attachment deleted by admin]
