Big fan of yours. Are you selling your long tubes?

I’m holding onto them for now but possibly in the future

Any tips for getting that U- Joint off for the steering shaft ?

[@nizmospec0012]

@@natewilliams9579 all ya gotta do is take out both bolts on the u-joint, and it will freely slide up the steering column. The column does not retract like other cars, so all you can do is unbolt the u-joint to disconnect it. But once you do it will freely move over out of the way. Just try not to rotate the wheel/column, as well as bump the wheels and the alignment will be the same. I say this because the column splines has an alignment spline that ensures the u-joint goes on correctly. I’d highly recommend an alignment at a shop afterwards just to ensure it’s centered

Did you have any trouble clearing the steering shaft? I have mine on and they are rubbing on steering shaft
