REMOVAL of OEM Column: Disconnect positive battery cable.

Before you start your installation verify that your turn signals, brake

lights, horn & 4-way ashers are working properly. If they all function

now, then they should function properly again once the installation is
complete.

Verify that your steering wheel and driving wheels are straight.
Disconnect the positive terminal on the battery.

1974-75 Rag Joint Removal:

In the Engine compartment, disconnect the
lower half of the rag joint from the upper half
of the rag joint. This can be done by removing
the two nuts that connect the two halves of the
rag joint together. The OE rag joint (Figure 1)
was pressed onto the column making that half
of the rag joint impossible to remove from the
OE column. Note: A NEW 3/4” 36 half rag
joint (Part Number: 3000383400) will need to be used to reinstall
the column. Also, carefully inspect the other half of the rag joint
to ensure that the rubber is still intact. If the rubber needs to be
replaced give us a call, we can supply you with the new pieces.

(Figure 1)

1976-77 Rag Joint Removal:

In the Engine compartment disconnect the rag joint from the steering
column by removing the 12 point bolt and sliding the rag joint
downward. (Figure 2) If this is a Column Shift column also disconnect
column shift linkage shaft from the column shift lever. (Figure 3)
