Steering column

bigdaddynandez · Apr 4, 2017

In the process of replacing my steering column bearings and I'm stuck. I can't find the back bearing, I have the bigger one, and I do not know how to remove the race from the old one. Here's a picture hope this helps. Does anyone know of a step by step thread? I can't find anything with pictures. This is where I'm at

Searched google for a write up, nothing I could find was helping so far. And I know what parts I need, but ford just wants what seems like too much but that site is even more expensive

Did this last night it's no fun!! I used a seal puller worked perfectly. If you have any other questions let me know I had the whole f freaking thing disassembled and back together.

The 1 bearing I got was supposed to be the top bearin and it is almost an inch wider than what is in there right now, so where does that one go? I got the part number from another forum who fixed his too. I'm going to order the other bearing tomorrow but I have no clue where this one would even fit

That goes down below the top housing in the base of it. You need this bearing for where you're picture is.

Sweet thanks. How do I get the top housing off to get this bearing in? I figured I already have it I might as well put it

If it's a tilt it's a bitch. Either way there's 2 gold 30 torx on each side. Undue those there's a spring bar in the center of the bottom that has a pin in it. Should be able to lift that and pull the two parts away. If it's tilt instead of a single spring bar it has two that a pain to lift so you can slide it apart. Remove the two parts and the large bearing is in the housing.
