remove steering box from shaft?

[allcarfan]

how would I go about removing my steering boc from my column? Pickle fork and hammer? ANyone done this before?

If you've got a 65-early 67, the shaft is solid from the box all the way up to the steering wheel. Think about it when you get hit or hit something head on.

shaft and box are a one piece on my 67'....i was able to remove it by pulling the box out through the engine bay...

im going to have to get to the bottom of something this week. I hope someone isnt trying to take me for a ride...telling me just to go ahead and remove the steering box and hook up some rag joints and intermediate shaft and viola, presto, chango....be done.

im rambling a little

I don't know how you can do that easily without swapping in a 68' steering box, intermediate shaft, and replacing (or shortening) your steering column.

Are you changing to a R&P?

What year is your car?

Jay,

it is a 66 mustang. I have an MII rack in there right now. I was looking at a Flaming River setup, but i hear nothing but horror stories when trying to clear long tube headers. Any ideas? - I will be ordering one of your Billet MC soon.

Oh, and if you have the chance...tell Kim that...I dont 'suck' - she will know who it is (joke)
