Default Re: steering column restoration

It is likely that your inner steel tube is corroded and stuck in the aluminum inner housing near the top of the column. I have had this happen numerous times and am usually successfull giving it some friendly taps and driving it off after spraying some Cryoil down inside. You have to be carefull as you can easily bend the bottom portion of the outer housing. You can also carefully try using some heat on the inner shaft near the top. Good luck
