There should be a couple screws that hold the turn signal switch on. Take your time looking it over.
As said above, a factory service manual is a HUGE help.
Here's pics from my 71 FSM.
Hope this helps.
Pull the steering column apart. I believe there is a clip on the shaft below the wheel that holds the shaft in place (no sliding up or down). I had a similar issue and the clip was missing, or broken.
Here's the thread...
First of all, thanks for the replies and help. After some rather choice words, I got the steering column out and coupler off. Got the internals and case soaking. That grease in there was almost hard.
Is this pin supposed to come out?
I didn't want to beat on it, but it doesn't seem like it...
Apparently, I'm missing the metal bracket thing on my steering coupler. The rubber boot keeps sliding up the shaft. Is this going to be an issue? Can I just wrap some electrical tape to keep it from sliding up?
Here's some pictures of what I'm talking about
Just wanted to give you all an update on this thread. It was the lower c clip under the collar that has disappeared somewhere. And the upper one is kind of crooked.
I'm going to Jeg's later to get some new ones and get the steering wheel put back together.
Is the C clip something where I need to remove the column to fix?
The top piece, or "plate", looks like it's barely attached to the main part of it.
Should I just pull the column out and put new parts in it?
While sitting in the car, I can pull the steering wheel towards me about an inch or so. The whole shaft moves. All the way to the gear box. I haven't taken it apart as I'm hoping it's something easily fixable.
Would anybody know what the issue would be?
It's not a column shift if that makes...
