Ashwell Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 ok so im going to take a steering coupler off of a 91 legacy. Now I don't know exactly how to get it off? because on my 1990 loyale the coupler came off easy, but that was after I got the crossmember for the motor and trans unbolted. So i dont know exactly what tools to bring with when i go to take the coupler off the parts car. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

987687 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 You need a 10mm or 12mm wrench for the pinch bolts on the coupler. Remove the pinch bolts, tap the coupler up the steering shaft until the bottom comes free, then tap it off. Everything is in your way and there isn't a whole lot of room.... removing the starter might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) if it is like the 90s legos,and i assume it is,one pinch bolt ''rides'' in a cutout in the shaft.in other words,one end of the u-joint coupler MUST be correctly aligned with the shaft.the bolt not only pinches, but it rides on a notch on the shaft.REMOVE this bolt. i think it is the lower, steering rack, end. the other bolt, upper end, needs to be loosened.once done, you can slide the u-joint up onto the steering column shaftso the lower end comes free of the rack shaft. i could have the shaft the ends mixed up,but i do not think so. caution: it is easy to reassemble so that the steering wheel is not centered. careful.
