Do you have to drop the steering column to change your brake light switch and will you damage anything?
Kurtkassler
i do not know what type of vehicle you have, but most brake light switches are located behind the brake pedal. Ive not seen a switch yet that cant be accessed from under the dash just stick your head down by the brake pedal and look up you should see it where the brake pedal rests.

Something is burning in the steering column?
If you do not keep your power steering fluid topped off, and/or do not change it once a year, your steering column will most likely start burning from friction of the steering rod and column. The best thing you could do is take it to a mechanic, to see how much damage you've done by not topping off your steering fluid. This is something explained in every owner's manual, but not often read. This is how most mechanics make their money, by people not topping off their power steering fluid. If it isn't looked at soon, then your steering could go out, and you could crash.
How do you remove a steering column from 1984 Corvette?
The steering column is energy absorbing and is designed to compress in a front-end collision to minimize the possibility of an injury to the driver of the car. Once the steering column is removed from the car, the column is extremely susceptible to damage. Dropping the column on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the plastic injections which maintain column rigidty. Leaning on the column assembly could cause the jacket to bend or deform. Any of the above could impair the column's collapsible design. Use a standard wheel puller and never hammer on the end of the shaft. # Disconnect the battery # Remove pinch bolt at universal coupling of intermediate shaft # Remove lower steering column attaching bolt on the dash & toe panel support # Remove 2 capsule bolts on instrument panel reinforcement assembly # Disconnect all electrical connectors from steering column # Remove steering column assembly

I don't know. However, generally speaking when a steering column is wrecked by theft damage as you indicate, the least expensive course is to have an experienced technician install a used steering column from a salvage vehicle. Try to ensure the used column is from a salvage vehicle that has not been wrecked through front end collision.
