REMOVAL of OEM Column: Disconnect positive battery cable.

To remove the horn button on your stock steering wheel, push it in an then

rotate counter clockwise. (Figure 1)

Remove the nut and use a wheel pull­er to pull the original steering wheel
off the original column. (Figure 2)

Now go under the dash and disconnect the wire
plug from the column to the under dash har­ness. (Figure 3)

Remove the 4 bolts that hold the lower oor
mount to the rewall toe board. Remove the
bolts or bolt that attach the oor mount to the

column. Since we are working on instructions
for both a ‘68 (Figure 4) and or ‘69 Mustang,
they have a lot in common. We will be talking
about both and each at the same time.

(Figure 1)

Remove the two piece oor mount on the ‘68

by separating the two halves. On the ‘69 it is a
clamp with one bolt.

(Figure 2)

Before we get to far we need to remove the bolt that holds the rag joint on the
steering box. You may want to spray some penetrating oil on the bolt before
you take it out.
