Steering column plastic pieces

[snakeoil24]

The inner column has plastic pieces i beleive are guides or some kind of break away part. I want to remove them safely if i can in order to send out column for powder coating. Anyone identify what they are and proper way to remove? I can hve my son reproduce using a computer printer if i need to. Look the pictures please you will see the white lines.

Dont do it. You will ruin the function of breakaway column. Cant be that hard to bead blast the rust and finish sand with 220 grit wetdry paper. clear coat column. it was natural from factory.

Thank You i will avoid seding out for powder coat and simply spray with Textured coating. Appreciate your input.

I cleaned mine by making a trough just big enough to lay it in with some thick plastic to prevent leaks and filled with evaporust enough to submerge it. Little trick I saw in @dadsbee resto thread.
