on a automatic on the column. Wondering how hard it is to replace the backup light operating lever on a 67 coronet?
It's down on the column about above the brake pedal. The reverse light switch has to be removed. Two or 3 philips screws, I think. Then the plastic lever should be visible. Carefully wiggle it straight down toward the firewall. Once it slides out of its holder, it has to lean to an angle to be removed. With a mirror secured above the column and a good light you may be able to replace it. At 73 I couldn't do it so I pulled the column. A pain in the butt but that is what it took for me.Its been many years since I've messed with the lever. Where is it located on the column?
That may be possible, but you don't have a lot of depth before you hit something else that will interfere.Thank you. I've read where people have used a sheet metal screw in place of the plastic lever.
