Re: Tilt column problem
That's the sucker; you're a veritable fountain of info. I went ahead
and pulled the inner housing since I had a puller that worked for the
pivot pins and found that 4th torx bolt. I used blue loctite since I
may accidently want to remove them one day. What a PITA just to
tighten 4 little screws!
