hey i have a 1981 camaro that i need to remove the steering column out of. so far i have the steering wheel off, and everything behind it down to the blinker switch. the goal of removing it is to weld or repair the metal rod that is plunged up and down when you turn the key. long story on why it was severed... also ive removed the four brass bolts on the underside the secure it to the dash, and it wont pull out. i was told that you have to disconnect the shaft under the hood from the power steering box, and that it was kind of like popping a shifter out the top of a tunnel transmission. unfortunately that all i was told and i need to know how to disconnect the steering shaft from the power steering box. any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated..

 

Try Haynes or Chiltons manuals. You can also try Youtube. They have videos on almost everything.
