- I START PREPPING PARTS TO MOUNT IN THE TUB AND THE ONE IN FOCUS IN THIS VIDEO IS THE TILT STEERING COLUMN. WITH NEW AND REFURBISHED ONES RUNNING FROM $1000 UP TO $2500 I DECIDED THAT I'D RATHER REBUILD MY ORIGINAL AND SPEND 250 OR SO ON NEEDED REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS VIDEO WAS A BIT LONG. I HAD FOUND OTHER VIDEOS DETAILING THE DISASSEMBLY OF NON-TILT COLUMNS BUT NONE FOR TILT SO THE LEARNING CURVE WAS NEAR VERTICAL.

I bought an 81 CJ8 when I got out of the AF in 84. I have taken the jeep apart and am in the process of putting it back together. I was needing to do the steering column. Many thanks for doing this. It was a great help.
Thanks Millstone Jeep Worx. Very helpful. I inherited an 86 cj7 that has been parked on a hill for 20 years. No keys and Key release was frozen. Column is now rebuilt. 👍👍
Thanks so much for posting this! I'm in the middle of my CJ7 restoration and your video really helped me out since there aren't many resources for the tilt steering column. Much appreciated.
Nicely done. I will be doing this soon for my 79 CJ and this will be a great resource. Mike
Thank you Mike. Hope it helps you.
Nice!
This video gave me the confidence to fix it on my own thank you
That is so great to hear. Thank you. Glad it was able to help you
Could you share your source for the lower plastic cowling that you found online??
Thanks for this video, I’ve been scratching my head for two days. The little actuator arm broke off for my ignition..
Glad the video was a help to you. Got that piece from
Prosteeringcolumns.com
Appreciate the video, im in the middle of doing this, ran into a stuck tilt pin problem on mine. Any predictions on when i can hope for a rebuild video to follow?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have all the parts on order with an ETA of early to mid week next week. hope to have a reassembly and a video done by end of week next week.
Appreciate and look forward to it. There isnt much out there for indepth video details, recommendations, or torque specs/ best grease info to be found.
@@FreedomCJ7 Still waiting on my parts to reassemble the column. Hopefully they will be here by this weekend or early next week.
Nice job. What kind of engine is that. I have a vortec 5.7 would like to know the bellhousing part number
It is an AMC 304 V-8. Sorry, not sure what bellhousing you would need. I would contact Novak or Advance Adapters.
Currently working on getting my steering column taken apart.
Im having an issue with those pins that you said tapped out. Any suggestions?
I threaded in a bolt. Then put a pair of needle nose pliers under it and tapped on plier with a hammer. Lisle makes a tool. #19940. This tool threads in and acts as a puller.
Make sure you release the tilt spring first. That will keep pressure on those pins
