I've got a couple questions for those of you that have done this. I'm going through this myself right now. I had a power steering issue a while back and had to wrestle the motorhome from Dallas to Miami OK w/o power assist and I suspect that was tough on some bearings and ujoints on the steering column.
I have the column removed from the motorhome. I have the wheel removed from the column. I'm hesitant to remove more on the top end where the electronics are in case i break something or can't get it all put back together... plus I don't know if I need to remove all that.
At the moment I have two questions:
1. Is there a ujoint at the top of the column for the tilt wheel that I need to get to and replace? I can't see that area because of the coverings around the switch and electronics.
2. How do you remove the blue plastic piece? Perhaps this requires the electronics and upper most end to be remove so that shaft that goes through the bearing comes out first, then the blue plastic piece?
Thanks,
Alan
