Hey ELH4X4, I really appreciate the unnecessary extra effort you put into this. It really helped me rebuild a Tilt/Tele column from an '82 so I could install it in my '79 that came with a standard column. There were some differences around the ignition key barrel and signals, but in general, it helped immensely. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for this very well put together instructional video. It saved me a lot of grief. The only thing that was a mystery to me and was not covered was a small detent spring like object that fell out of my column and I couldn’t find the part or any mention of it anywhere on line. The rack rides on top of it. Nothing panics you more than having a part fall out and not knowing where it goes , what it’s called and what it does. I found out when I bought a used tilt section and it was still intact. Thanks again, great job.

Great video! Thank you very much for the excellent camera work and explanations. I am trying to replace the original power steering with a Borgeson steering unit in a 1970 Corvette with a GM 502 with long Hooker headers. The lower steering shaft will not compress at all and after seeing your video I think it might be welded.

thanks for the comment williamnicholas6480, that's exactly why i made the video. glad it was helpful.

Great video! I must admit…probably watched it 5 times before I gathered up enough courage to dive into mine. My t/t column seemed like it had been getting looser and looser lately and even started shaking the steering wheel/column while driving. Based on other videos I’ve watched, determined most probable cause for this was the pivot pin holes being wollered out. So I ordered up a pair of oversize pins from Steering Column Services. Got it all tore down tonight and decided to go a little bit further and go after the last 4 bolts that are apparently known for loosening up as well. So got to them, pulled them out and put some loctite on before retightening them. They were snug for the most part but feel better making sure they will be secure for the future. Ran out of time tonight, but going to start reassembly tomorrow and install the new oversize pins that should hopefully take care of the up/down looseness. Wish me luck and thanks again for providing such a great video!

Awesome, well-done video. you mentioned @ 26.43 why do people remove this part (I don't know what it is called) it is because the torx bolts come loose (steering wheel wobbles around from main column) and need to be removed and red lock Tite applied. (I have done this procedure on a half dozen of these). again, thanks for the upload, as I have needed some info on a 68 c3 tilt tele missing parts to include the actuator bar for the Hazzard button

Question, if someone changed my 68 steering column to a later model, what all on the brackets would need to be modified? Having trouble figuring this out.

thanks for the comment C1. not sure which bracket you mean, the one at the firewall or center of the column. i would try to find out what year the late model column is and see if it is compatible as far as length.

Hey man, great video, my steering sector gear is slipping and the gear selector rod under it is moving down and causing it to jump gears and fall out of place. Any idea If something is missing? Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your video. I have taken my steering column partly apart, but as I'm reassembling and just after I put back the steering lock plate and retainer ring, the telescopic rod is stuck in the bottom position and it won't budge. Maybe it's a stupid question, but how would the lock plate cause the telescopic rod to get stuck? Maybe I'm just not sure how it's supposed to work.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I found it out myself. There is a grove along the shaft until a few cm from the top. When it's all the way down, the grove is not aligned with the lock ring and it ends up pushing against the side of the rod instead and locking it. The rod needs to be raised slightly when putting the lock ring on.

I really like this video, it is very informative. I know you are working on a 76 steering column in this video. I have a 75 with tile/telescope wheel. On the steering wheel hub, is there a clip under the retaining nut on a 75? I have been fighting all day trying to get that hub off there with no success. I don't see a clip visually but that hub did not budge even a thousands of an inch. Any help would be useful.

thanks for the comment Greg. my vette is a 76 but the column is supposed to be a 75. from what i see in the manual is not under the nut, under the cover and over the lock plate. nothing holding the hub but a tapered fit.

shop manual says to pull it with a puller. you might have to put some tension on the puller and shock it with a hammer.

Awesome break down but the video was too dark imo. I could not see a single part you worked on that was in the black hole facing the camera. Otherwise known as the top side of steering column . In shadow. Parts falling out where ever they were. Pulling and digging stuff out of that hole…Just so dark. But other than that I just couldn’t see any of the work being performed until you stood it up on the dooor.
