'82 CJ steering shaft replacement question
Clap Trap 13 March 2005 21:32:09
	Can the lower steering shaft (power steering, no tilt) be replaced without removing the column - ie, everything is done under the hood only?

Yes - sort of. You'll have to loosen the brackets that hold the steering column in place, but you won't have to actually remove the steering column. Something to look out for - the power steering gearbox end of the replacement steering shaft was turned around 180 degrees when I received mine. It's an easy thing to fix by flipping the power steering gearbox end of the steering shaft around 180 degrees. If you put it on wrong, your steering wheel will be upside down. -- Michael White "To protect people from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools." -Herbert Spencer, 1891

	Thanks for the info. I am glad I won't have to take it all out. The steering wheel position won't be a problem for me, the wheel itself is very easy to remove and reposition on mine.

	You have to either loosen the column or drop the gear box to get it out.

I was able to work mine loose but I had to loosen all the bolts in the cab before I could get enough clearance to free the lower end. Mine was 85 cj tilt & PS JJ

	I usually leave everything hooked to the box and just lower the box down and tilt to do the seal. Your mileage may vary but I think it is easier to drop the box down and have room than pull the top column out and try to do the seal with the box in place. I think the rad would have to come out to have room.

	If your current shaft is junk, then you can remove it without moving the main steering column. I cut mine in half with a reciprocating saw and it came right out, then my new Borgeson shaft had enough adjustment in it so it could be installed without moving the steering column "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:4236037E.687E603E@sympatico.ca...> You have to either loosen the column or drop the gear box to get it out.> Mike> 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00> 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's> Clap Trap wrote:>> Can the lower steering shaft (power steering, no tilt) be replaced>> without removing the column - ie, everything is done under the hood only?
