"Statler" was involved in a front-end collision and maybe had some vandalism. So the steering column is bent (about 15 degrees). It still turns the front wheels.
I have procured a rebuilt steering box and column without a stador tube and am now left with two problems.
1. The steering wheel is stuck on the old column and I cannot get the thing off.
2. The stador tube in the column will also be bent. It can be pulled down the box about a foot. I assume it is stopping at one of the spacers (Chinese lanterns).
Should I try to save the column to have it straightened (cut up the steering wheel) or should I try to save the steering wheel and stador tube (cut the column near the steering wheel and then pull out the stador tube)? Or should I save both ( how do I get the wheel off)?
