Collapsible steering shaft removal

heres how ah did it....

you can either remove the bonnet or shove it straight up using a big stick as a prop, make sure your wheels and steering wheel are pointing straight ahead.
you should then see this...

Put a mark on the top uj and the bit it fits onto for lining things back up later.
Next remove the two bolts from the top uj.....

It might be a good idea to give the shafts a squirt with Wd or summit and a clean around the uj's.
All that's left to do is wriggle the shafts back and forth a bit until it comes off.....

Check to see if your uj's or the collapsible bit is ok and refitting is pretty much the reverse.
Job done
;) :D


It might be an idea to check what condition the rubber is like in the collapsible bit, mines was starting to come apart. Luckily I had a spare shaft.
If you look at the first shaft, you should see the rubber coming away....
