Lifting an EA81 having problems.

Featured Replies

I got the rear done, but now going on to the front how do I get the steering shaft off? I took off the 12mm bolts on the part where the shaft comes down and joins with the other shorter shaft. It moves a little but not enough to get out. Do i replace the short shaft that goes in to the steering rack or do I replace the shaft that you can see from looking down. please help

the shorter shaft is the one that get's replaced(lengthened).

 

I've done it a couple of different ways....

 

1. loosen up both sides of the connector so that it can slide both ways.

I usually use a big screw driver to widen out the connector (both sides).

slide the connector down as far as possible onto the short shaft, and take it off the upper shaft first.

 

2. take off the nuts/bolts that hold the rag joint onto the rack first, then swing the bottom of the short shaft out, and take out of the connector...

 

You can also loosen the steering column nuts under the dash to give it some more play....
