Title: YJ steering column
Post by: Ric Jacques on September 21, 2006, 10:09:07 AM

Anyone know if it's telescopic?  Need to shorten it an inch to fit the CJ, just wondering if I should hit it a bit harder!  Looks like it is telescopic, just stiff.

Sorry KD yes it's the link I'm on about.  It does look telescopic, but the joint is a bit rusted up under the little rubber boot which had slid down.  Guess I'll try more penetrating oil and a bit of heat then whack it one!

when you slide it apart, there are 2 small clips to retain it.....dont lose em & make sure they go back in the right way...
