Had to re-solder the switch as 1 wire pulled off the terminal. I could not find a 1/4-20 slotted screw at all….another 45 minutes looking. I am working outdoors, my tools are 60 feet away in the garage (loaded with STUFF) and I always have the wrong sizes or types. Taking this apart was a long and tedious process for which I spent nearly 2 hours. Then I remembered that through his many offerings, had shown me how the 1 screw is set in the slider to prevent this. The wiring for the switch got caught in the fingers of the sliding hub, jammed in the pass thru channel and the shaft was off the steering box. So I had rebuilt the steering column, new directional signal switch, new chrome hub, nut and dash collar and was mounting my small diameter steering wheel ( which was ridiculously tight) and in checking the depth of the set on the splines, I tugged on the wheel and pulled the telescoping pieces completely apart. Two years into restoration and it seems nothing was a easy fix with no issues,ĭo I love it or hate it. Thank goodness for those iPhone picturesīack 10 months ago had made this post in the “ what did you do to your t-bird today” threadĪfter getting the wiring in on the 1955 yesterday I installed the steering column to discover that the channel for the wires on the turn signal switch is twisted and needs fixed or replaced, When I try to take the steering column off It doesn't want to come out, I hear a metal to metal thud. This all started as a plan to change the steering wheel…geez. I have pushed it back in and it seems like it got lucky andĭecided to stop working on this until I find some real answers.Īnyone have some ideas on these? Much appreciated. Is this a press fit on the shaft and will I need a long reach puller the get it offĢ.) I am replacing it the directional signal switch…the old switch has 3 GREEN wires and a Red, White and Blue are all of the Green wires the same? I am trying to test theseģ.) I pulled up on the steering shaft and it seems like the shaft has come out of the steering box in the engine compartment? Is there no other component holding the steering I know the process for the repair of the pressed hub but I have had to disassemble the directional signal assembly and a few other things popped up.ġ.) I have exposed the shaft bearing and have it out of the hub but I cannot budge it from the shaft. Between the steering wheel and the telescoping adjusting sleeve is a press fit hub assembly and mine has separated.
