Sorry to tell you but the intermediate shaft must be replaced. That shaft goes from the column thru firewall to the steering gear box. Not hard to replace. Remove bolt at steering box then use a screwdriver or pry bar to slide shaft off the gear box. the shaft will slide into itself in that plastic coupler. Now under the dash near firewall remove the bolt holding shaft to steering column. Again pry shaft off column toward firewall. Back under the hood pull shaft out of firewall. The intermediate shaft cost $271. here in Detroit metro. Go to junk yard. about $35. A Durango is the same shaft. Just make sure there is no play at the joints before removing.
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

remove the air intake box for ez access to the steering shaft ,remove the plastic cover over the universal joint from the shaft to the steering box. Next remove the one bolt joining the two. use a pry bar to separate then push back the steering shaft.

How do you use a puller to install a power steering pump pulley?
The puller will not put it back on. It's made to remove it only. To reinstall the pulley requires a bolt about 3 inches long, a nut, and flat washer that fits the bolt. There are threads inside the hole on the end of the pump shaft where you insert this bolt. First place the pulley onto the shaft and hold it in place, then install the bolt into the pump shaft. Then hold the bolt head with one wrench, while you tighten the nut and washer against the pulley with another wrench, and it will push the pulley onto the shaft.
