Re: Tilt steering repair
Got pictures up of my rigged up pivot point puller (8 32 bolt with two
nuts and washers increasing in size until they could hold the socket)
and also of the disassembled steering column with a view of the loose
culprit bolts. When I finally got to them, I discovered that they had
backed out completely - none of them had held any thread at all.

Good stuff

Re: Tilt steering repair
Apparently the plate that the tilt wheel bolts attach to had fallen
down the into the steering column - that was fun trying to figure out
how it was supposed to attach. But everything's finally fixed with
copious amounts of locktite and, assuming I remember/can figure out how
everything goes back together w/r/t the turn signal switch, wiring,
etc, I'll finally finish tomorrow. Then on to the power steering pump,
which will allow me to move on to my TC problem. Hoorah for $500
Jeeps.
I just keep telling myself it's a learning experience.

By which I mean, does anyone know how the pusher rod is supposed to
attach to the multi function lever?
