[korg70kbc]

anybody able to tell me why the bolt would be undone? the one pretty much center of pic above ignition. just noticed it is 1/2 unthreaded

[korg70kbc]

k, lets try this, does anyone have a pic of the bolts to remove the steering? that bolt doesn't look like its supposed to be backed off yet it is. dash will not come off with steering wheel on...............

Can't tell you why that nut is 1/2 loose. All I can say is, it shouldn't be, and that it needs to be removed in order to remove the column.

Yes, those bolts. And don't forget the PRNDL cable like I told you, right?

Yes, you're right it IS very delicate, which makes it all the more important that you disconnect it from the column, before you even think of trying to remove the column. And you're not forgetting about making sure the wheel doesn't turn when it's disconnected from the shaft RIGHT?
