So how did you undo the bolts.

[stuartgallafant]

i didnt undo them. when jonb sent me his column, he hadnt undone his, so all the brackets and that were still on there.

instead, i removed the steering coupling off the bottom of the column, and then kep whacking the column forward to remove it from its mount behind the dash. then when i put the other one in, i just simply tapped it into place, and put the steering coupling back on

only things is, now i've got no bloody steering lock! any suggestions brian?

oh, and also smashed the horn contact to smitherines when neil distracted me! b*st*rd!!

[stuartgallafant]

dont worry, im all sorted! just been out having a fiddle, and now we're all good to go!

thanks for your help brian
