Hard to tell if that is a factory coupler due to the grinding, but if it is, there is in fact a pin that is typically there. It typically just does not allow for the coupler to completely be removed, but there is forward/reverse free movement/slop, do you have that movement? You would typically...

I find it interesting that your coupler used a split pin. I am getting ready to pull the column out of the Barracuda and it used a bolt! The other 65 columns I've pulled all used a bolt to secure the coupler to the input shaft of the steering box.

Ok columns out and coupler is off im down to a pin on 1 end and a gear on the top. Which 1 comes off and how. Im so close.

Man I appreciate the detail ty 4 the heads up

Can't you just take the steering coupler off and cross pin?

I just did this. it was super easy. The shafts are different length but tubes are the same. To switch shafts you have to- 1) Remove steering wheel from column 2) Unplug steering column wiring from under dash 3) at coupler you need to remove set pin at top of coupler, I used a small carpenter...

I need to point out that the OP asked if he had to "change the whole column to convert to PS?" NOW we're talking about using expensive aftermarket steering boxes, cutting the shaft and welding on u joints, modifying the crush sleeve (an inherent safety feature designed to keep the driver from...

I recently redid my coupler as well. I did not have the pin at the top however, the years of junk and gunk kept the column in the coupler very well. I would also recommend removing the column to give yourself more space to work. Also, it looks like your steering box and column weren't aligned...

Had to remove the coupler from the ps box in order to install the manifold (too tight). I've aligned the coupler splines correctly, problem is it will not go far enough on the shaft to allow the pin install. Any guidance will be helpful, fighting with this for hours.

As you might have seen I couldnt find my new rebuild kit the other night. I have found it and when I went to install the new parts I found that the original pin that goes thru the shaft had a diameter of .335 and the new one is .330. That means that the new pin wont be tight so I cant use it...

3-18-17 Got the steering column back in with the new coupler. All seems to be fitting well. Ill pin them when I make sure all issues are taken care of.

Hope I'm not hijacking the thread here. I removed the column from my 73 Dart Sport, PS, auto on the floor. When I got the car, the coupler was trash. I replaced the missing lower bearing with the aftermarket bearing mentioned on a FABO post. Also rebuilt the coupler and got 3 new nylon sliders...

While replacing my ignition lock cylinder I noticed the steering column will pull out about a half inch if I pull aft on the wheel. The shaft comes aft with the wheel but the coupler stays in place. Here's the shaft fully pushed into the coupler: And here is the shaft pulled out by pulling...

I believe that there is one spot on the splined shaft where the coupler slides down and allows the pin to go all the way in the hole!!

This helps me also on my 69 Fish Vert. Thanks!!!

Yes that what was explained to me to do.Was not sure if that pin would come out. new bearing in now problem solved

Just a little recap on what I had to do in order to get it off. As far as I can tell I did not have the pin at the top. I ended up slicing it like a hotdog with the cutoff wheel in order to remove it. I didn't mind having to do it considering I am replacing it with the flaming river coupler...

Yes, i run one on mine, for the same reason, and also because I could never get the retainer to stay put on the stock coupler. I replaced the bolt shown with a pin, but I noticed some play in it, so I will be putting in a roll pin instead.

I try to let ya all know when I fail along with the successes. Well I discovered a major fail when I test fit the front spindles, rotor and rim. No way in hell are my brake cooling ducts going to work. The inlet tube of the ducts are aimed right at the lower control arm bumper stops and the...

Help- I have to replace the steering coupler on my 72 Demon- 340 w/ TTI Headers, Power Steering, 4 Speed Guy replaced the lower pinion seal, and the upper gearbox seal said it would take care of it. In doing it, he wallowed out the roll pin hole,and gummed up the splines on the coupler. Now I...

That steering coupler is kicking my ***, the rectangular followers were put in wrong, the pin is tack welded to the steering shaft and the cover is also tack welded on. Why this was done????????

Has anyone ever removed the pin that holds the coupler shoes in place on the bottom of the steering shaft ? I'm am installing a Borgeson coupler and need to remove it.

The ujoint couplers I use have D shaft hole for reason you said. Need to grind down both sides of shaft to allow entry into joint lockdown. allen key and locknut cant possibly spin. I'm just trying to show people other options out there. basically all rack pinion use this D.

Do you by any chance have a step by step way to remove the column pieces in order to completely disassemble the column? I'm now trying to do the column to floor conversion and it's been a PITA. Every thread on it leaves out the steps to remove the shift area from the column

So I bought a kit to repair my coupler on the end of the steering shaft. When I took apart my existing coupler the seal was shot as was the seal cover. The inside was hard rusty greese but when I cleaned up the end, everything seems fine. I don't see any wear on the two blocks on the end.Do...

Well I feel dumb....! My 65's coupler roll pin just tapped out, no problem. My buddies 64 was a bolt..?

Yes that linkage rod needs to come off. Also there is a roll pin in the coupler at the bottom of ur pic. Pound it out with a punch. Slide the coupler up off the shaft of the steering box. Go inside up under the dash u will remove a plastic cover. 2 studs with 3 nuts and a ground wire gets...

1) Locate the roll pin at the end of the steering coupler (at the far end of the square thing at the bottom of your photo. Turn the wheel till visible and drive it out with a punch. 2) Disconect the linkage. 3) Remove the plastic column cover directly below the column inside the car. It's...
