Big Day, Much Help Needed, 1989 Steering Column Job

FIRST Watch This Video (i took the video, its different from yesterday's, and yes that is my car)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-4WtyUjEpI

SECOND Pictures of what was too dark to show in the video






ok, my delco ignition cylinder will be picked up from advance this morning at 10am et. then i'm going to come home and, either with your help or with my knack for poking my way through, install the new ignition cylinder.

leave your comments, advice, guidance, jokes, prayers, donations, and tears in a bucket below.

Re: Big Day, Much Help Needed, 1989 Steering Column Job

i put the wheel back on and used the wheel puller and took the wheel off the right way. then there was a bolt poking out and a plastic cover around it. i got the plastic cover off to reveal a half rust-covered metal sprocket.

hope shone through however as i located the screw that must bow down to me in order for the busted cylinder to come out. its slightly out of reach but if i get some allen wrench style torxes then i can have my way with that screw.

another break this time sponsored by Three Brother's Sicilian Ham & Pepperoni Pizza in association with Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Special Thanks go to Cody 2 doors down for buying 3 slices and eating 1.

i put the new cylinder in now i just need a new snap ring and i'll be on my way...

smh... even the jbody.org forum section about 1st Gen j-bodies didn't have any information.

o well.
17 dollar manual
25 dollar part
22 dollars worth of tools
15 dollars of gas i had to put in my mom's xterra
16 dollar steering wheel puller
95 dollars TOTAL.

i could have paid mr gm goodwrench 300 in labor and 46 for the part and had my car back in 3 hours...

saved 251 dollars.


thanks 99cavy... if you want i'll pm you some pics of the process... i won't share with the rest of these people the secrets of the ignition cylinder

No Autozone where you are? They rent steering wheel pullers around here, could've saved yourself $16.

actually i plan on returning it claiming when i got home dad already got the steering wheel off.

prolly exchange it for the thing that holds the springloaded cover down so i can put the new snap ring in.
