This video is goes over how to disassemble a gm squarebody tilt steering column and tilt steering wheel. This is my first time doing it so I'm partially learning as I go but we can learn together. If you have a 1970's, 1980's or 1990's Chevy or GMC square body truck this disassembly tutorial will work for you. This is a tilt steering column from a 1986 Chevy Suburban which is going into my 1982 Chevy K5 Blazer. If you are looking to do a steering column swap on your squarebody. This video gives you a basic how to as well as some of the tools you need. Many tilt steering wheels get loose over time and part of this video goes over how to fix sloppy tilt in a steering column. You can do this process either installed in your vehicle or removed, This video is part 1 in a series on how to disassemble, clean, reassemble and install a squarebody tilt steering column. Will link those videos when I finish editing them. Hope this helps!
