Steering column reassembly part 1

[@andrewmcgehean6953]

I found it very helpful as this was a first time for me taking the column apart just to get to the 4 torc bolts at the end as they were all loose causing the steering wheel to basically flop around in all directions. I have no idea how the prior owner even drove it. However upon taking it apart, realized the top set of bearings were falling out so ordered parts thanks to your links... Waiting on those before reassembly... Mine is from a 78' Cherokee Chief and somewhat the same except cruise control was added.

Glad the video and links helped. Always love hearing that it was a help to others.

Thanks for making a detailed video for rebuilding the tilt Cj columns. there is not a whole lot of information out there for them. by chance do you have a picture or link to where i can get a replacement for the plastic piece that sits along side the key/steering lock release. Thanks

Thanks, Glad it helped you. I got the piece from here. prosteeringcolumn.com/1976-up-gm-jeep-tilt-steering-column-lower-shroud-collar-floor-shift-.html Can order from their website or their Ebay Store. I'm still waiting on the rest of the rebuild pieces. Hopefully by early next week and then will get it reassembled.

@@millstonejeepworx Thanks for the quick response. I need that piece as mine was destroyed when I got the column. Do you know where I can get the plastic piece you mentioned at 10:23 ? That piece was also destroyed. Look forward to the rest of you column rebuild!

Why make a video on how to rebuild the steering column if your waiting on parts, wait till you have ALL the parts and then make the video, without all the talking

Talk too much
