Understood. But please trust us. Steering columns are tedious enough jobs when servicing them correctly. I just refurbished the three on the tree column in my 64 Valiant not long ago. Not the first column I've ever removed by a long shot, but was the first manual column I've done. I took my time. One step at a time with my factory service manual right on the bench and it came out great. Just go slow and easy and pace yourself. You'll get it done. If you get hung up on something, give us a shout and we'll try to help.
