Gregg: Doing a frame up restoration, I replaced the bearings and
straightened the shaft (which had been bent a long time) also new spring.
Very straight forward task, just undo the four screw nuts at either end of
the shaft and removed the bearing covers (which are split) remove the collar
and slip the shaft out of the firewall. Assembly is reversed. Good Luck
