Tilt Column rebuild anyone?
« on: May 28, 2016, 11:22:38 AM »
I've got just 1 gnarly job left on my restofication...the tilt column.  Sand got into the bearings and I have to tackle this thing...
any one have experience on this?   Most "pros" seem like they concentrate on 1969+ years.

Dear Ted, Mark, Jim, and mid-60s Buick "writers of suspense novels," . . . .

I've got just 1 gnarly job left on my restofication...the tilt column.  Sand got into the bearings and I have to tackle this thing...
any one have experience on this?   Most "pros" seem like they concentrate on 1969+ years.


This thread is over 9 months old and we never did find out what happened to Ted's tilt steering column.

So Ted, did you fix this or not?  . . . . Da' suspense is killing me!! . . . . .

Okay, okay, so I'm overstating my case, but I am a bit curious!  :read2:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

I fixed my own!    I had to create a tool to pull the springs into place, otherwise straight forward disassembly, clean, paint, lube, repeat backwards.

Dear Ted and mid-60s Buick DIY types, . . .

Glad to hear it! :icon_thumright: Why send it out if you can do it yourself!
