- ALL MY VIDEOS ARE 1080p HI DEF so check that out
LONG BORING VIDEO going over as much as i know about the column in case you are missing parts or trying to rebuild yours
car is a 70 chevelle
column is a 68-72 floor shift NON TILT
video is just to give an idea on the proper steps to take it all the way apart
and all the parts that should be in the column
i have parts 2, 3, and 4 on here doing the whole column start to finish
I hit "like" when you changed the radio channel. Appreciate the video.
That trick at the end about how to get the ignition switch saved my life!!!!
I'm chasing down a turn signal fuse-blowing issue and considering checking the column as a last resort check. I knew I could count on you for the right video I needed! Thanks again!
Man- You saved me from losing my mind toda.. I couldn't figure out to hook up that single horn wire and I think your video is the ONLY one that explains it - Thanks!!!
By far the most useful video I’ve seen. Now I know why I have to manually turn off my turn signal…the cam is missing in mine. I also know because my turn signal assembly was also broken. Part ordered! 👍🏻
I just picked up one of these cars and your videos have been a great help. I like your no bs approach to videos.👍
Some dip-Sh tried to steal my '71 Chevelle and totally smashed the ignition key lock to heck, and even broke off the big "cap" the key goes in. I ordered the part from Rock Auto for Approx $ 25 and followed Chris's Video to the letter taking a picture after each piece I took off. It took a while to do but Chris, your video was a godsend. I am not very mechanically inclined but I did it with your help. You are awesome !!!!!! Had to make a tool by hammering a coat hanger end down to get Mr. bouncy tab out as I couldn't get a screw driver in either. I do not know if you see comments like this, but if you do - THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!
Don (Calgary, Alberta, Canada). PS - I should have mentioned the steering wheel had A "CLUB" on it - they could not have driven it anyway ?????? and they must have spent at least a half an hour doing the damage they did ???????????
i got all the way to the end and thought it was covered, started taking the other bolts out but thanks to this vid ill go back and give it a jug in the slot, i have 71 grand prix
Cool Chris thank you very much for sharing with us I'm dealing with a steering column now for the. Sake I've started from a paper clip to a pick to a screwdriver and couldn't. Find the sweet spot for the cylinder to release I've measured the new switch with the old one. Wow🤦 come to find out the knock out is covering the plunger .
Thanks for this video, helped a lot when I was putting new ignition in.
Good morning Chris hey man you are a big big help brother I definitely appreciate you helping us out.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge I always learn something new because of you✔ 69 Chevelle project 😀
Hey Chris got the same car been watching your videos man , you the kind of guy that does shit just like me. I'm fixing to put a tilt steering in my chevelle. Gunna rebuild it. I appreciate all the time and explaining you take in walking all of us that watch you. Brotha you helping me a lot on every thing I do to my car. You got it going on my friend. Only problem I'm having is my ole Lady Bitchin but the Hell wit her. I can find another one like her , it's the Chevelle's that's hard to come by!. LMFAO. Ya see what she don't understand is I like her but I LOVE MY CAR.
ok I got it figured out. Seems that is a switch for key in warning buzzer...
Once again chrisfix for the win. . . FYI dont try this without the tool to push the spring in. . .u can get it off without it BUT u can't get it back on lol
Hi Chris, those two brass contacts behind the signal cam , what are those for? Should it have constant power? Thx .. great content.
Chris on the teardown when you remove the signal light assembly the video shows a copper flat contact of some kind.(@14:21 minutes in) I assume this piece is needed for the horn. Do you know what it might be called and if it is available anywhere? Great video...
You know a whole lot to not know anything lmao. The way you explained everything is funny. I dont know the names of most mechanisms but I understand everything you said haha
It was an early video I didn't know what I was doing. I need to remake a simplified version..
@@chriscraft77022 well you did a great job. My steering wheel is working again and main thing I needed was my horn. People here in Fresno ca drive like maniacs lol
Chris question I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to disassemble this one also question where can I purchase. The plastic gear that connects to the cast gear thank you.
I have a tilt, but looks all basically the same as in your video. I’m assuming mine is going to have a joint in the shaft, and a spring with the extra lever, but basically the same disassembly? We will see. 👍🏻
I need that compress tool with the red handle at the eight minute mark where do I get it?!!!! So I can get the damn c clip out
Help
Problem im having is the horn ring is touching that screw for the turn signal stalk. Horn starts going off...
I have a 72 cutlass with the solid hole like you were talking about at 14:30. It seems like it is way to solid to tap out with a flathead is there any other way I can take out the ignition?
Great video. What's the tool called to push the spacer in so you can get the ring out?
they have them at oreilly i think its a steering wheel clip removal tool..
Hey, do you know where to find replacement parts - like that seal and a new wiring pigtail?
I saw other video part 3 or 4 .. what brand the white stuff ?
im doing the same project. except mines a 1964 chevelle ss convertible. anyways i was trying to remove the steering wheel. cant even do that :P. i managed to damage the threads very badly where the steering wheel nut rests on to the collumn. any idea what the name is of that part? is it replaceable?
Do a 1970 Chevy impala steering column fit in a 1971 Monte Carlo
What tool did you use to compres the steering wheel lock?
LT99030 LOC from oreilly.. I bought it back when it was $15.99
@@chriscraft77022 thanks for getting back to me so fast. I ended up finding it at advanced, I didnt know it was a common tool. Thanks again!
Please Chris I need your info so I can send you my column it’s a79 cutlass please help me
monster job !!! thank again ! i wish i can name all this kind of details like u do in your videos, i could post some helpful info too. Like conversion of dash in to LED's, multi color ANGEL eyes, affordable transfer and double battery to the trunk with upgraded BMW wire harness in my 69 chevelle project ! i got question in regarding column parts. im "fighting" with my horn now and ones i got my column cracked open, i figured its missing that plastic >white
+Vladimir Tarasov sorry for the very late reply but you might want to buy that piece NEW because they have a tiny spring in there and none of mine have a spring so im going to buy a new one anyway.... sorry im not selling any parts till i finish my car
+Chris Craft thanks man. That what i did right after i asked you for that piece, and by the way i did finished putting my 69 together this summer and rolling around enjoying my little beast with 350 in it! i wish you a good luck with your project, cheeers
The background music is very distracting
