Anyone have some good steering column restoration tips?

[bull]

I did a search and didn't find where anyone had detailed a steering column restoration. Thinking about doing it myself and wondering if it's pretty straightforward?

Are you sure one of Shakeys excellent threads wasn't on steering columns?

Mopar Action I think did one on an E body that was good.

make a search on google and will find it.

they have some differences with 68 due the diff ign swith location, the lock wheel, but basically is the same and will work

He's the first one I thought of but I didn't see one.

Look on Mopar Muscle's website, use the search engine, they have a good article on a column rebuild, using that article, and my FSM, it was a pretty straight foward easy job.
I totally dis-assembled mine, clean painted all parts, replaced upper and lower bearings (the lower bearing was 80 bucks  ) Also found my shaft had collapsed, so I had to deal with that. Also got a kit to overhaul the coupler.
Like I said pretty easy job, just a few hours after work 3-4 days, I had it done.

Good luck,
Jason

It's pretty straightforward, and the only parts I bought new were the upper and lower bearing from this guy; http://stores.ebay.com/Hoover-Auto-Parts
