91 Astrovan Column Tilt Repair part (1 of 2)

I don't think that there is enough room between the steering nuckle and the outer case. So you can try, but if you need to pull the pins you can rent the pivot pin tool @ Checker/Orileys for just a few bucks.

One of the best videos I have ever seen on YouTube. Great job in explaining it. However, is it really necessary to pull the pins? It seems like last time I did this that I could get to all four with universal and did not have to remove the pins etc.... Tks

Great work!

Wish you had shown info on steering wheel lock plate pin. Just bought an old 88 Chevy 2500 with bad key lock and the steering wheel would not lock. The ignition key lock has been replaced.

The pin that slides up into the wheel lock plate was in backwards. I turned it around but it still will not lock and unlock properly at times. An internal cam or something pushes it up to lock position but I just have to depend on it sliding back down to unlock.

Hey what is the name of the tool you used to compress the plate under the steering wheel and the 92 astro sould be just about the same assembly right?

Great video. I have to take apart a column at work and all the service literature isn't all as helpful as this video is. I was mainly consirded with the lock plate tool. How to use it and the purpose ( that ring). I see now and it makes sense now. Now I need to go to napa and get a steering wheel puller set with the pivot pin and lock plate pullers.

Thank you.

i had someone that told me i couldn't do it, and thats all it took me to figure it out. the high low beam switch was the hard part for me.
