Disassembly
In order to perform this installation the front end of the car must be off the ground. A lift works
best, but jack stands will work.
Removing Factory Steering Linkage:
1. Remove wheels so you’re down to bare spindle. There is no need to disconnect the caliper.
2. Remove the two bolts holding each of the factory steering arms. Pull the steering arms with
the steering linkage still attached away from the spindle.
3. Remove the pitman arm from the steering box; a puller will be needed,
4. Remove the two bolts holding the idler arm, The entire steering linkage should now be free to
be removed from the car.
Column and Steering Box Removal:
If you are using the stock column: The stock column assembly consists of 3 different
parts; the column shaft, which runs to the steering box, the column shift tube, found on all stock
columns but only used with column shifting cars, and the column sleeve, which encompassed the
column shaft and column shift tube. The column must be taken apart and modified to work with
the kit
1. Remove the steering wheel from the column. Disconnect the column tube from the floor/
firewall, disconnect all electronic wiring.
2. Remove the column sleeve and column shift tube. Note: your car should have a column shift
tube even if it was a floor shift model. The best way to remove is to pull off the column shaft,
through the passenger compartment of the car.
3. Unbolt the steering box from the frame and remove, pulling the column shaft down through
the firewall as you remove the steering box.
4. Disassemble the column completely, save all pieces of the column assembly.
If you are using an aftermarket column: Disconnect the column from the steering box, unbolt
the steering box from frame and remove. Note the spline on the end of the column for the U-joints
you will need to connect to the steering linkage to the rack.
