good vid on taking mopar columns apart

other then the e-body cup its all the same.

Yes, Cody's vid can be very helpful

Wound up watching all 4 videos - he does a nice job of walking you through.

yep I pulled one apart yesterday. And my dumb *** collapsed the shaft How is that possible. Need to slow down.

If you collapsed it the plastic shear "pins" were already sheared. I'd asked my old man how hard you have to hit the wheel to shear that ****... but he's been gone since '86 !

does anyone know the length of ps shaft? Im going to fix it.

All 68-70 B body steering column shafts are the same length. The 1970 piece needed to be modified the accept the split pin for the "star" lock wheel.

Manual shafts are 44 1/2" end to end, if not collapsed. The part #244515, is labeled on the steering wheel end along with a white paint I/D marker. The length of the gear end is 7 1/4" from "spin-weld" to end. The manual coupler has a 3/4" splined hole.

Power steering shafts are 41 1/2" end to end and have a purple paint marker. The length of the gear end is 4 1/4" from the spin-weld to end. The P/S coupler has a 5/8" splined hole.

After retiring from Chrysler, I started Premium Interior Restoration, and have restored over 175 Mopar columns. I have lost track counting the amount of "modified columns" that I have restored/returned to O/E design intent.

Any one may pm me if you need info related to restoring your steering columns. Mike
