2002 Ford Explorer - Column Shifter Lever Bracket Repair Part 1 

Ran87IROCZ installs the part has to be installed from the (steering wheel side) without the top bushing. You can see him wiggle it side to side which you cant do with bushing installed. After you spent time trying to finagle it remove Airbag, Steering wheel and turn signal switch. Then clockspring which is easy to move 2 phillips screws. If you can do it with the steering wheel on Id sure like to see the video of you putting in the piece with bushing in place. 🤔🤠

Every video I've seen is based on if the whole piece that hooks up to the shifter is broken off and you can just slide the whole thing down and out...in my case only one side of the piece that hooks up to the shifter is broken (the piece that the little pin goes through to hold the shifter in place) and the rest is still not broken off so I can't just slide it down and out. Somehow I have to get the piece that you guys have been hammering off in a socket (back in your garage or on the sidewalk) off while it's still in place on the column in order to pull it up and out. If anyone could please give me some suggestions on how to do that I'd really appreciate it! I have to have it fixed by tomorrow so my wife can go to work. Thanks!

Hey Joe great to see your video . I was stuck for 2 hours today luckily in a safe place . My gear change lever snapped ( broke ) off after 300,000 mi on my explorer pain in the ass .On eBay it shows they have got just that one part that you have in your hand at the beginning of your video But other ones show they have got other parts as well Do you suggest that I get the other parts as well just in case . Or Do you only need that one part that you showed? Thanks buddy

Mine broke last night and I'm dreading the repair bill 😢.... I don't think I'm a mechanically inclined enough to fix it myself, the last few months I've been living paycheck-to-paycheck so I'm really not sure how much something like this will cost to repair

thanks for the video, do you by chance know where to get that part that broke. the dealer is trying to charge me 1400 hundred dollars for that exact part. it would be greatly appreciated.

-_- hmm guess this is normal then. Smgdh.
