That is what I was afraid of. I was hoping to get that finished up this weekend, but it looks like I'll be delayed at least another week.
Yes, those are set screws. I've been told that it keeps it tight and gets rid of all play in the steering wheel.

Working on the new shaft from Borgerson. Ordered the one that should work, but now I'm worried that the donor column does not fit the new U joint.
The new joint does not want to slip on the steering column upper shaft.
I have tried tapping it gently, but it's not going on.
Any suggestions...
I went to the Bourgeson site and could not find the part without a rag joint. I was looking in the k5 Blazer section. Do I need to search for another application?

That matches with what my gut was telling me. I'll start looking for a replacement while everything is apart.
Thanks!

Got it out.
Used heat, a hammer, and put the steering wheel back on temporarily to have leverage for pulling.
Question now is whether or not the coupler needs to be replaced while I'm there?
How do you know if it needs to be replaced and if it does, are the parts readily accessible?
I'm...
Wound up having a full weekend with family. The plan is to try at it later this afternoon. I'll give an update at that time. :)

I'm having trouble disassembling the upper steering shaft from the lower steering shaft? TM manual says to separate, but not how to get them unstuck.
How do I separate the upper from the coupling?
I have most of the original column out, but can't get this part to come apart.
Suggestions...
Yep! There have been plenty of times when I was ready to get rid of it, but my kids won't let me. For some reason they would rather me drive them in it over our newer vehicles. Crazy kids. ;)
thanks! That part did not look anything what I was seeing in the column, but then again, I had not been able to break it down all the way, yet. I'll look at the referenced TM for instructions on getting deeper.
Thank you for the help!
Well, I've been trying to find this all afternoon and can't, so I'm giving up and will phone a friend. ;)
The connector inside the column where the directional lever connects broke off and I can't find the part listed in TM9-2320-289-34P in Figure 127: Steering Wheel and Column.
Can someone...
Hi Guys,
I did a search for an updated part number, but can't seem to find it.
The part I'm looking for is 9754764 which is the "ring, spacer" for the steering wheel horn button. Page 307, item number 66 on page 307 of TM tm9-2320-289-34p.
I have looked around online and can't seem to find...
