jatkinson 12 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 How you you remove the platic cover below the steering wheel that covers the column? I thought they came apart by pushing the seam together and then siding it in opposite directions but that doesn't seem to work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 I am confused, and others might also be. The column cover on mine is metal, and I think you have to take the whole column out remove a lot, and it slides off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 If its the one in Brian Conway's picture simply remove the two sheet metal screws going up from the bottom and it falls off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jatkinson 12 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 No its the cover that is above the one on Brians picture. It's about 8-10 inches and covers the column. It goes from the one in Brians picture to the key assembly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buening 63 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 He is talking about the plastic shroud between the above pictured lower dash cover and the metal steering column (where key is). There is a metal clip that holds the joint closed on that cover. Its easier to see if you remove that above pictured shroud. The clip slides out (I think from the bottom). I can't find any pictures of the clip but here is the end of the shroud with the joint shown. The clip is about 2" long and U-shaped and slides of the inside part of the shroud joint.

miketyler 15 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Had a helluva time with mine as well. Just to add illustration, here are pics of the spring clips. Regular wheel on left, tilt wheel on right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regular wheel on left, tilt wheel on right So you had to slide the clips out the bottom of the shroud to get it to come apart? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miketyler 15 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 On mine I pulled on it so hard it pulled the clip out of the column. If you look at the pic posted earlier you can see the sleeve has locking tangs that help position it and keep it centered. Once you remove the lower cover, you would need to slide it down the column first, then pull down on the split to pull it out of the clip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
