<< Does anyone know how to remove the steering column from the box on the A1?
You don't............that is if you are referring to the actual
shaft that the steering wheel is attached to.
The steering column actually is the outer tube. This tube is attached
to the steering box with a clamp at the base.
If you are referring to the steering shaft, it is internal with the
box. The worm is pressed on it and you must disassemble the box and
withdraw the steering sector to press the shaft out of the bottom.
TM 9-2320-218-34 "Steering Gear, Body, and Chassis Components" has the
procedure for this. >>
FROM THE MUTT ARCHIVES................!!!!!
Jim is correct. But it may be of interest to note that the steering column on
the M151A2 is somewhat different, and there is a flexible coupling at the
bottom of the steering shaft (steering box end) which enables the steering
box to be separated from the shaft. The flexible coupling is circular and
looks like the sort of material used for conveyor belts. It makes for a much
easier replacement of the steering box.
