How do you repair a 1987 Plymouth reliant tilt steering column?

To repair a 1987 Plymouth Reliant tilt steering column, first, remove the steering wheel by unscrewing the retaining nut and using a steering wheel puller if necessary. Next, carefully disassemble the column by removing the cover and any retaining screws or clips, paying attention to the tilt mechanism. Inspect and replace any damaged components, such as bearings or pivot pins, and reassemble the column in reverse order, ensuring all parts are securely fastened. Finally, reconnect the steering column to the steering gear and test for proper function before reattaching the steering wheel.


Replacing the lock mechanism and took the steering wheel off a 1990 Cutlass Supreme but how do you get the tilt steering out of the way?

hello Here is what you do. This steering column is square right. and on both sides there are pins that pivot the steering wheel. Take off the steering wheel. Then the turn signal assembly. Keep the screws handy. Take a big flat screw driver, there is a square hole on the bottom right side. Push in and turn. Congratulations you just took out the spring. Next get a dent puller smaller one that the end screws on. Put one of the screws that came from the turn signal assembly in the dent puller. Next thread the screw in the side of the column there are little pins on both sides and use the weight on the puller to knock out the pins. Becarful not to break the selector rod that the ignition gears ride in.


What are Column Labels in the areas of a Pivot Table?

Each pivot table is different, so it depends on how you have it laid out and what data is in it. Pivot tables are very flexible, so you can switch around the data and column headings could become row headings and the data can change. Column headings will indicate what the data in a particular column in the pivot table is.

How do you use steering pivot pin removal tool?

To use a steering pivot pin removal tool, first ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Remove any necessary components, such as the steering column covers or other obstructing parts. Insert the tool into the pivot pin area, aligning it with the pin, and then use a wrench or ratchet to apply pressure, which will help extract the pin from its housing. Once removed, inspect the pin and surrounding components for wear before reassembly.


How do you repair a tilt steering column in a 1991 Chevy Astro van that is loose and sloppy?

You need a special tool called a �Pivot Pin Puller� and a �Steering Wheel Puller� to access the bolts that are loose. With these tools: * Disconnect the battery * Disconnect any air bags following the factory instructions (too detailed for listing here) * Remove the horn assembly. * Remove the lock nut (do not use the �lock� to hold the steering wheel, you can damage it) * Use the puller to remove the steering wheel * Use the pivot pin puller on the two pivot pins: 3 and 9 o�clock (DO NOT try and �cheat� these without a proper puller, you will damage them) * Remove the upper tilt portion of the assembly (and turn signals if they are attached to this portion of the assembly) * Tighten the 3 bolts of the lower assembly (you cannot access these past the upper assembly) � and once apart you can�t miss them. * Put it back together. (be sure to use threadlocking compound on the bolts) * Or you will be doing this repair again This is not an easy thing to do as i tried and found my floorboard littered with little parts and springs not to mention the various rods that must be installed.....i am an industrial mechanic by trade and ended up putting it back together......luck was on my side and it still worked....but not fixed......ended up getting a used steering column from a salvage yard for $75 and they removed it....took me about 2 hrs to remove mine and install the new one.......make sure the one you get is good.....i understand that this is a fairly common problem with Astro vans......am going to attempt to fix my old one now that i don't have to have it............just my thoughts......

How do you remove the tilt steering wheel of an Eddie Bauer Bronco to replace the actuator?

I did this on an Eddie Bauer Bronco last weekend. It is not hard at all to do if you have the correct tools. Step One: remove the small bolts from the back of the steering wheel that holds the padded part on the front of the steering wheel and pop out the switch key tumbler. The tumbler has a small hole on the bottom that has a pin that you push in to get it out. Step two: Remove the large nut from the center of the steering column. Step three: Remove the steering wheel. A steering wheel puller is best for this, but you can get it off without a puller. Leave the nut on the steering column flush with the end of the column. Do not let any threads show through the nut. Strike the nut on the end of the shaft with a hammer. You can then grasp the steering wheel with both hands and with a little pressure you can pull it off. When the steering wheel comes loose it will pop up against the nut. Finish taking it off. Step four: After removing the steering wheel, you will see the turn signal and horn assembly. Remove the small bolts from the turn signal assembly and pull it straight toward you. You will have to reach below the steering and pull some wire toward you to give you some space Step five; You can not pull the turn signal lever out of the bottom of the assembly. Slide it through the column to the right. Step six: remove the horn assembly. Note: Be sure that you see where the horn contactors are so you get them in the right place when you replace the steering wheel. Step seven: Drive the pin out of the ignition switch actuator that holds the switch linkage rod. You can do this by using a small drill bit and hammer. Be very careful not to drop the pin. Step eight: Remove both pieces of the broken actuator. The piece that is down inside the steering column can be removed by drilling a small hole in it and driving a small screwdriver in it. Note: you have to lift up on it to get it out. Step Nine: You will have to remove the tilt steering assembly in order to get the new actuator in place. For this you will have to have a pivot pin puller. This can be purchased at NAPA Auto Parts. Other places don't have it. You can get them out without a puller, but if you mess these up, they are extremely expensive to purchase. Step Ten: Put the new actuator in place and reverse the above steps.
