Good link thanks. But... It even States in that write up to... slide the coupler off... I can't pull it off or tug it off so I'm gathering mine must be stuck on there Somehow

Still need to source that bearing

Did the pin come out in one piece? Have you given it a good soaking in WD or Blast? A little heat might help too.

If the part number is 2265656...Try this.

MOPAR: Steering Column BEARING E-Body Cuda Challenger Plymouth Dodge T/A R/T AAR | eBay

That number 2265656 came out of the 73 manual. That bearing fits a bunch of MOPARs.

The bearing and the spring under it sure look to be 1974 to 1976 steering shaft assembly from duster,dart or valiant. It is the lower shaft bearing also used on Aspen and Volare. The part number is 3748241. This number is not in the 1973 parts book but as we know parts books are not always correct in the last few weeks of a model year run. It's also possible steering shaft was changed over the past 45+ years. In the mid eighties 3748241 superseded to 4147318. The design is slightly different but very interchangeable. You could still get the new number from Chrysler a couple of years ago. Both numbers show up on eBay but the 3748241 has become expensive. Part number 2265656 is the upper steering shaft bearing located under turn signal switch. Hope this helps.
