OK So I messed with this for over an hour today and I'm stuck. I wanted to pull out the rotten wood from the console and simply mount the steering column to the aluminum of the console. I was able to get the wood out, but it had rusted the bolts and I cant get the bolts back on. the simply spin because I can get at the other end of the bolt. I tried using a ViseGrip to hold the threaded end end while putting the nuts on but that doesn't work. So now I'm trying to remove the steering wheel assembly and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it off. Have a look.
To make matters worse I can pull the steering assemly from the console because it's connected to the steering cable and there are warnings all over it not to disassemble it.Not to mention I believe it's hydraulic and I don't want to mess with it.
So what I'm trying to now is remore the silver piece so that I can get at the bots.
Any ideas
This is what I started with
Now
It looks like ther my be small tab by the bolt but I stuck a small screwdriver in there and I can seem to dislodge it. Anybody have any experience with this?
