Help - Trying to get my Steering Column Out!

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

Even better I used one of my son's Vise grips that I think is used for
welding. It had long C shaped jaws that took about 2 seconds to push it in.

To get it out I pushed a small screw driver between the two tabs and a
slight twist and pop out it came.

Got it all done.  Took lots of pictures.  I will try to make a tech doc.

Thanks for every ones help.
