This Video is the best. I have the GM service manual and it is very hard to follow if you have never done it before. You went through the whole procedure logically with out wasting time. I thank you very much. This is by far the best Video on the GM tilt steering. #1 👍👍

You had the perfect video for what I needed. You're a good and patient man. Thank you for putting this video together, I don't have the patience like you do. So it helped me immensely. I can't thank you enough!!

I broke my horn piece going back together. also somehow the spring that works the steering lock had jumped out of place and it took me quite a spell finding the correct location of it. You did a jam up job of cleaning up everything. Great video Great job.

Listening to you reminds me of my father inlaw, your funny as heck with good info. Thank you.

Just did this on my 91 c2500 thank you for posting! Just a note, I didn't have to take the upper steering shaft apart at the swivel, I got along side it with a narrow socket to tighten the 4 bolts.

Pain in the ass just to get to those four bolts😨 Thanks for video 👍

That gen of GMC has a wild interior. I've never see them before. Nice to see you fixing these up and giving them the tlc they deserve.

Thanks. The detail of the disassembly was great. Thanks for sharing the tough parts of the job that will save me time for sure. Peace bro.

Thanks for the video, I struggled doing mine before I saw this. Putting the high beam rod in and the plastic components in the video might help someone.

Doing one of these in a buick waiting for a part to come in but nice to see exactly how to do it your real patient cause its a PAIN IN THE BUTT to do ... thanks buddy

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

I have this exact assembly. I pulled it apart a few weeks ago and this was a MASSIVE help putting it back together.

Perfect video with just what I needed! Didnt know how to pop pivot ball out! Thanks alot and nice truck!

Thank you for actually saying it’s a real struggle!!! guys don’t try to do this yourself!! I pulled apart in minutes and now I can get these fucking tilt spring shoes back in this is ridiculous I do t even understand how they would go back in now!!

Thanks, man! This video helped my replace the ignition cylinder lock switch on my 1992 Chevy Blazer. Much appreciated

Thank you very much for making this video !! It has been a great help for me.

Thanks for the video. Have a similar problem with my Camaro. Your explanation was top notch! Great job!,,,

13:53 "That's gonna be fun gettin that back in ... This is gonna be fun gettin ALL this back in" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Excellent Job Mossman! Patience is definitely a virtue!

41834 steering wheel plate remover. Yes this part number still exists. Pretty cool! I just bought a 93 GMC can’t wait to start refurbishing it.

Wow, thank you bro! I need to remove my steering column on my 93 K1500, because its comming out smoke from it, from the key cilinder. I asume its a cable so i need to remove it and didnt knew where to even start hahaha

Thank You and love your helper at your side.👍

You are a very smart person ♡ good job .

You started it when it was half way put back together... put mine almost all back together to find out that it wont start anymore so now trying to figure out why it isnt 😊

Great video, covers everything I needed. Really nice & thanks.

One more note, when removing the tile compression spring, tilt the column up to reduce tension.

Pivot pin puller is optional. Use a bolt that fits and a washer and a short piece of copper tubing. Improvise! :-)

man o days you saved me a bunch of time!!!!

tilt lever info very helpful Thanks

these steering column are nightmare"s to deal with , you make it look easy tho !!!!

Thanks . all these chevys do this. one time i had to get towed in . back in 1995.

Very helpful thank you!

Awesome video buddy thank so much

I feel drunk watching this disassembly and I'm not even drinking..

Thank you!

i love your craftsman ratchets lube them with some sil-glide and u will like them even more.i thought mine was broke took it apart cleaned it then used silglide to lube it it works amazing now . just dont use it on fine tooth ratchets use 3n1 or something like that

Just came across this while working on my 94 suburban. While fishing some wires thru I hit the tilt lever and put the truck into neutral. It rolled forward before I could get it stopped it ran into my pool fence and broke the grill and headlight.

did you get rid of the darthdually

I've never seen the pin removal tool. I want one of those!

Great video

Great video Sir. I really appreciate it Sir. Please forgive me. By any chance do you still have the Tool part number for the little tool used to pull the 2 pins out??

Nice video !! I have a cheyyene with the turn signal switch problem !!!! Any idea how much is the part

One of my bearing was broke the black plastic housing that the race fits over. Any idea where you can buy a replacement?

2 QUESTIONS..1ST Wasnt there suppose to be a lock clip that goes on after you torqued the steering nut? and 2nd. how did you loosen the wiring harness to give it more slack? Good Job on fixing your problem.2 thumbs up.

Will this make the truck cut off when you turn ?

Wow I need this done on my 90 Chevy step side I don’t think I’d be able to put it back together lol

Hey Helped my friend on his 91 GMC stepside. The pins on the column were stuck like they were glued in. It took us about an hour to get both out. After that it was all down hill. I have a 89 K5 Blazer and column is tight. Wouldn’t want to go thru it again.

You don't need a tool to remove the pivot pin. One of the screws you remove (for the turn signal switch, I believe) fits in it. Use a pair of pliers or diagonal pliers to pry it out.

How did you get the upper bearing race back in and tight? I have lots of play from that bearing

I need to do a lot of this on my car after you got down past the Locking plate that was it I just can't go any further. It might be easier for me just to change up my whole steering wheel but one steering wheel that I want has cruise control and the new steering wheel doesn't

WHAT A NIGHTMARE NEVER GOT THAT FAR

Hey Mossman381 you ever get this thing back together? lol I have a 1990 c3500 I am about to do! thanks for making the video !

Gracias por tu vídeo asi le voy hacer a mi auto que esos tornillo estan flojos

Did the GMC's have a Chevrolet center cap on the steering wheel? Or did someone replace that?

Did you get the brights fixed?

Did you ever figure out where the high beam rod was correctly placed ? Is there a slide deal that it rides in? Thx

Please make a video to depict this..... These instructions are for the 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala (Eighth generation) Turn Signal Cancelling Cam replacement. Once you use a PowerBuilt Streering Wheel Removal Set RENTAL from AutoZone to remove the steering wheel, after you removed the airbag, then you must use "snap-ring pliers" to remove the snap-ring from the Steering Air Coil Kit GM part # 26089982, 26088931, or 26092622 aka "Clock Spring". The next step is that one must use the Lisle 57340 Steering Wheel Lock Plate Tool and a small vicegrip to compress the turquoise/emerald spring, which pop the "Lock Plate Ring" GM part # 05694191 up from the lock plate. You can use picks - mine were from AutoZone - to move the lock plate ring from the lock plate... Once removed, then you'll be able to slide the "Turn Signal Cancelling Cam" GM part # 26086061 off the "Upper Steering Shaft" GM part # 26064247. You must be very careful NOT to disrupt the connection of the "Bearing Spring Set" GM part # 15231641 and "Bearing Kit" GM part # 26001827 from the "Upper Steering Shaft" GM part # 26064247.

Wish you would have shown the re-assembly

I am still trying to figure out a way to stake the bolt heads onto the bottom plate so they don't back out, used red loctite on mine and I have had to do this twice.... Needing to go in a third time soon.

Too bad no one actually shows the left side of a video. I've been working for hours trying to get the column showing how to re assemble the hi low beam switch. Good news is l did take photos of all the parts before disassembling the column... I had to reffer to them several times. The more angles the better. - - - - Time passed, l have now fixed it. Ok on the tilt control there is a little box that surrounds it in this box there is a plastic actuator that slides up and down controlled by the high beam switch part of the smart switch. The actuator has a scalloped base which the rod's curved part fits nicely into. The heavy grease kinda keeps everything in place. The actuator needs to be slide upward so the rod can be put into position. This process can take as many as 5 times to get it to work properly. Be patient. What should take a short time is very fiddly. Be patient. Have good light. When all comes together it will slip together smoothly. Think like the manufacturer. Make sure the rod is in the switch at the base of the column. Now that this is in assembly of the cowling and the smart switch should go well. Now test the switch action make sure it clicks properly. Now you can re- assemble the rest. Remember no extra parts they are all needed. Back to the RU-vid video... good luck

This is also good for 1990 gmc s15

The steering was very loose on my 91 from factory. From 91 to 98 I dealt with it and now i no longer own the truck i am always oversteering still ffs. Put 600,000km on that truck

At this point I'm just changing out the whole steering column

The loose ball bearing assembly that has like maybe 14 or 15 ball bearings that kind of are held in by Grease. how does that go back together because those ball bearings will fall out unless you have Grease in there. I saw it when you were taking it apart it made kind of like a spring noise and then that whole little bearing thing with the tube metal pieces fell out along with bearings behind it. Trying to figure out how that all goes back together. One bearing ring, like 15 loose ball bearings then 2 metal pieces, one slotted the other not.

Nice Vids :)

The special tool to take off pivot name plis saludos from mexico good video

I used this video to swap out my lock cylinder. I just can’t seem to get the cylinder turned to the off position. Any help would be appreciated.

I got a 1990 Chevy Cheyenne C3500. Non tilt wheel. I pulled the wheel to replace the 'lever' to activate the turn signal. I pulled the key switch out, i thought the key was broke off in it?, there is no key in it. Anyway,,,i pulled the column apart. And now i can not get the key 'tumbler' to align with the 'ignition' rod (forgive me if i don't know the proper name) What position is the tumbler at when i push the column together??

Hi man I broke the 2 shaft bearing I bought the replacement part but I don’t know how to remove the old bearing , can you help me ?

When you lost that bolt yeah you're probably right it's really far down inside there but at AutoZone up by the cash register that they have these telescopic magnet tools that look like the antenna on a car they extend, that might get the bolt - or a magnet on a string

I have a 1990 GMC Sierra loose Steering wheel Column and for some reason my reverse lights stay on while I’m driving. Dose that have anything due to the loose steering wheel column? Please help I’m going to the junk yard for a new column to fix it..

4:22 Does hair come standard?

If you tighten the 4 bolts and it's still loose what could be causing it? The bolts are tight. Anyone have an idea?

I want more of the dog please

I have done this and now my truck strangely has no power. Battery is brand new.

You don’t have a steering wheel nut retainer clip!🇺🇸

Is it the same process for a c1500?

Would it be easier for me to take the whole steering column assembly out and have a shop rebuild it for me and then I can just install it myself? I have a 1990 GMC C1500 that has all the internal parts inside the steering gutted out and I don’t know what’s missing but it looks like the majority of the parts were damaged and thrown away. It looks like a crime scene and all that is left is the steering wheel.

How did you fix the plastic joint

mine's an 89 2500

your horn doesnt work because there is supposed to be a wire running from your horn button down to the round plastic tube on the column

What is the little skeleton key copper thingy that is half plastic but positively in my hand, 100% broken. Treading in quicksand over here ;-( Please - anyone???

Holy shit I think I'd rather replace the whole Calum than go through this cirus.

You know I watch these videos how he's people take everything apart what pisses me off about it they don't show you how everything go back together I got this pressure plate that I'm trying to get back on I cannot figure it out I took pictures how I took it apart I had no parts left when I put it back together now I can't get the pressure plate back on please somebody help me it's driving me crazy

I've got a GMC horn button if you still need one.

I took it off and I can’t get it back on😡

IVE BEEN AT THIS SHIT FOR 2 WEEKS AND STILL NOT EVEN CLOSE
