I never had a problem getting that pin out, usually takes minimal effort. Now the solid pin that goes through the steering shaft is TIGHT! I dont pull those out unless the column has to be worked on that requires it. Never seen any wear on that pin anyways. Just so your aware, there is a very...

Where do you find information on that part?

ANy more pictures of the other side?

Steering box bolts are often 12 point. A phillips often will spread the roll pin, making removal difficult. Removing the top of the coupler will sometimes work. I dislike Harbor Freight, but if you need one time tools...

Hi guys, Just got my power steering box back from Firm Feel. Taken apart my steering coupler, cleaned up and ready to put in my rebuild kit. I am re-using my old, fold over top piece because it is more sturdy and has a bit longer tangs than the replacement part. Also pictured is a new milled...

I used some garage ingenuity and fashioned a hand press out of a ball joint tool and some shortened bolts and thick washers. Dowel pin out, didn't have to remove my column to get shaft out. I'm going to tap the shaft, and use a 3/8"-24 set screw with loctite. My universal is stainless steel so I...

The collar at the floor is loose, when you hammered the coupler back, the column moved rearward on the plastic slides under the dash. Loosen the collar at the interior floor, push the steering wheel/column toward the front, after re-positioning the"shoes". Re-tighten floor clamp. P.S. There...

Yes, the small pin may have been added in the later years. Now that you mention it I have seen them without it. While were on the subject the finish on the coupler was bare steel, correct?

I was looking at that and their coupler with the bits and pins. It looks like it would make the overall length to long, so maybe cut it back, then drill and pin it?

Cuda Al did an awesome How-to on the steering coupler. Steering Coupler Rebuild "How To" The steering column should have a bracket with two bolts underneath the dash and two wiring plugs. On the bottom end the roll pin will release the shaft from the steering gearbox. You will also probably...

So, would you be interested in a trade. I have the column shaft in correct length for PS, the coupler(they are different between manual and power) . I have the gear box, power steering pump, (with all brackets) and lines. Everything in working condition and came from a V8 72 Demon. The...

Hallelujah, someone read the manual.

Well, never say never. I just went out to the check the coupling on my 69 Dart and I see that it HAS the safety retaining pin in the coupler body. When I get the chance, I will check my 68

can someone tell me the size of the steering shaft roll pin at the coupler on my '68 dart

Thanks for the reply. Wish I would have thought to do this job when I had the steering column out when I rebuilt it and the coupler. It's raining, cold and windy today in Kansas City, so it may be the perfect time to work in the garage and tackle this job. The led MOD looks great, but my car is...

This is not normal. Did you call or email me for a solution? I don't remember speaking with you.

Ready to finish the column since I got the NOS coupler and the rebuild kit from DMT... NOS coupler. Column rebuild kit from DMT note these are for '66 and up so some of the parts won't work. So here is one difference. The early couplers are square and don't have the bulges on the...

IIRC once you have the rod out of the coupler I think the coupler slides down and allows the steering shaft enough "play" to come out. the box is heavy but not that heavy maybe put a loose bolt back into a free hole sort of like a pin then simply pull the "pin" once it is all unbolted and make...

I guess I'll start removing the steering column, and I noticed I have the Rare optional upside down steering wheel, by the way no roll pin to decouple the the coupler to the steering box, it's a nut and bolt with a notch in the shaft to lock it, at least in 65 that is.

Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it.

There shouldn't really be any issues of "Where it is". As long as they didn't press the cross pin out of the column shaft, it should still be pretty centered in the column shaft. Check the shoes fit on that cross pin to ensure there isn't excessive wobble though. Most don't, but mine did so I...

Those are great, then you don't have to swap out your steering column to go to manual steer. They have that aftermarket Spring Clip for holding the top of the steering couple box on if you have had that apart . . the end of trying to fight that steering coupler when you want to service it . ...

is it the "dowel pin hole" referenced in Dave69's pic at edge of coupler? Im looking at 2 in my stash (64 and a 4/65) and neither have that. maybe it as a running change later? It would make sense to put one there, but maybe something a little bigger. I like the wire cage thing. will have to get...

I drove my pin out and put in a new one that came with the rebuild kit I bought. I only did it though because the old one was worn enough that there was some play when the new "Coupler Shoes" (if you want to call them that) were put over the pin. Getting the old one out wasn't bad and the new...

I installed the new instrument cluster and steering column, BUT ( there's always a BUT), Got the motor cranked and running and noticed the ammeter is discharging, one of the two lugs on the back of circuit board for the ammeter on the back of the cluster bezel clearly is labeled RED, and that's...

It's easy. There's a pin in the coupler crossways. Sometimes they are tight/ rusted. You need a good quality punch and a big *** hammer. Then the entire couple can be worked off the box splines

I having the same problem I cleaned out the roll pins and Bloom out with an airgun even I might try to make the diameter of the clamp smaller where they fit into the roll pins they seem awful tight how'd you get yours in

Great info. The part that has me puzzled still is this: "You may have to "almost remove" the column, IE disconnect the column support and the flange at the floor, then just drive the pin out of the coupler at the box and work the coupler off the shaft" I'm not clear on how the steering...

The pin that you removed from the coupler does not really "locate" the shaft. The steering wheel needs to be centered. When you pull back the coupler to separate the box from the column you will see that there is a master spline on the box shaft. This is what "orientates' the column and the...
