Re: [DML] Metal Steering Column Bushing?

[Christian Williams <delorean@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah... figured it out. As it turned out... it wasn't metal at all (hrmm,
that's why I'm such a bad welder...). From what I can tell, the only way
to get the bushing outta there is to put a pair of channel locks on it and
pull like crazy. The array of "tools" that I used to put the new one in
was even more interesting.

For future reference for the archives, is there a good way to get the
bushing in and out?
