roomylumy Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I had my steering wheel off the other day to change my indicator switch, and I discovered that the part on the column where the notches are for the tilt steering adjustment is broken. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how you would go about changing that. It looks like an independant unit, but I can't see any bolts or screws attaching it. Just two threaded holes on the sides. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 What year is your car? Regardless, if I were you I'd just grab up a "new" column from the boneyard. Seeing as you'd need to remove the column from the car to press out the pins that hold the tilt mechanism together, it would be cheaper and easier to just swap the entire column out...

roomylumy Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 My car is a 1990 Lumina. I have to confess that I do not know a whole lot about changing out the steering column. How big of a job is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 It's not hard at all. There are 2 bolts securing the column to the dash, and one that secures the end of the tube to the firewall. You'll have to peel back the boot at the firewall so you can unbolt the coupler from the "ISS" (intermediate steering shaft) then remove the 3 other bolts and it's out (well, after you unplug all of the electrical connections that is...)
