steering colum demolition

[70 Z UC]

I've got the thing stripped down past the key housing outter shell. How do you remove the rest? I don't see anymore bolts. I've got to take it all the way down to tighten the tilt nuckle, and remove all the sand from the previous owners blast job.

Should be two pins on either side that you have to remove where it pivots. It requires a specail tool to remove them, but it is fairly inexpensive.

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGG, I hate special tools. Do they press out (Can I use a slide hammer with threaded insert?)

Yes they are a press fit, you should be able to use a slide hammer if that is all you have. They realy aren't held in by much pressure, so a couple of pulls and they should come right out. The bottom does have another spring, so just be aware of this when you are taking the pins out.
