Good morning all,

Hopefully an easy one......could anyone tell me if its possible to separate the two pieces of the upper sierra steering column (i.e I wish to remove the aluminium bearing housing from the collapsible steel section)?. I've had a look inside the assembly but can't figure out how its been put together.

Many thanks,
Jek

Yes they will come apart. If I remember correctly they won't twist off because there is a notch in the ali part that locates in on the steel column. I think some gentle persuasion with a punch and hammer will sort it

First time mine came off it took a few gentle taps to get the inner steel section moving, then pulled off by hand (Ahem)


Now its off, It just twists on and off

Hi
Yep come off quite easily gentle taps.
This is what we did
(see our photo archive)
Good luck.

I have the same question but my steering column is different from the one pictured, its an adjustable column:

I want to keep the hole in my dash as small as possible, is it possible to strip this type of column to get it through the dash?
