+2 steering jammed
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2021 4:37 pm
Hi, Trying to change the badly worn steering coupling, the bolts came out after a good Plus Gas soaking, I rather foolishly tried to check the play at the steering wheel and it jammed with the wheel now off centre to the right.
The car is up on ramps, I 've been all day trying to lever the joint up the shaft with the coupling prised open.
Mine is a collapsible column, but I need to be able to rotate the column so I can remove the clamping bolts which have their heads at the top towards the body. The coupling is the original type with the rubber inserts.
If must have jumped the splines but I'm frightened to try and force the steering wheel back to the straight ahead position.
I would be really grateful for any help, Thanks John.
