RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

[Ron Sebastian]

Just like everyone has been saying. I honestly thought this one was different. It's not. It's 3/4 inch short. Thinking of what square deal said and drill out the coupling and redrill a new hole.

By the way, don't be banging the old shaft to get it out. I may have damaged my steering wheel locking mech. I wound up sawzalling the old one out. EDIT: did not damage the locking mech. Still would not bang to get the old one off. Sawzall made quick painless work of it.

Also there is no Allen set screw under the boot!

I'll do what's in post 425 and use the c3500 shaft if I ever do any steering box replacement or upgrade.

OK, so you don't have to drill anything out, you just need a BFH and extend the shaft the 3/4" more you need. I couldn't do it by hand and had to bang it and guide it on to the steering lug. It's on!
