Disassembly
The first step is to disassemble and remove the stock steering linkage, steering box and column.
1. Disconnect steering shaft from steering box. Raise vehicle and support it on stands. Note be
sure not to put the stand in a location by the stock round cross member.
2. Remove the cotter pins and nuts from outer tie rod ends and remove tie rods from spindles.
Disconnect the center link and idler arm assembly from the frame and remove the entire
steering linkage.
3. Remove bolts retaining the gearbox to the frame and remove the box. If equipped remove the
power steering pump, brackets and lines. All the pieces removed will not be used.
4. You need to modify your stock column slightly. If you have an Early 1967 or 1970 refer to
the appropriate section at the end of the instruction sheet. Remove the steering column and
tube assembly in one piece. Do not remove the steering wheel. Cut off the rag joint assembly
at the end closest to the joint itself. Next install the supplied column tube bearing by sliding it
over the steering shaft and up to the column tube and tap it in with a hammer. Once the
bearing is seated measure from the flat of the bearing down 1-3/4” and cut off the excess
shaft. Next slide on the brass washer and install the supplied U-joint so that the shaft is flush
to the inside of the new joint. Drill and pin the joint in place with the provided bit and roll
pins. That is all that is needed for modification to the column.
