Well, I know on my 72B this didn't work so I'm anxiously awaiting any
suggestions. I pulled the rack forward, and I even tried pulling the column
forward - it fell apart with the inner column coming out. Needless to say,
I have the whole assembly in the garage with the Ujoint firmly attached on
both ends (rack pinion and inner column pieces). At least I got it out of
the car. Not a big deal because I had a spare steering column and rack from
a 71BGT parts car - except it leaks oil from the pinion bushing area but
otherwise is in good shape.
Still, due to that oil seep, it would be nice if I could rebuild the 72
column or use it, if I could get the Ujoint off. Maybe I'll split it or cut
it off when I get a chance, barring any other suggestions. Right now, I'm
just trying to finish the initial restore on the 72B to get it on the road
for the first time in years.
