cant get steering column lock off
I have read the fsm and cant figure out how to get the steering column lock off my 84 GS. It says to use a chisel to loosen the bolts. What is that supposed to mean? Please someone who has done this let me know. Thanks

Well it finally came off. Now I am stuck on the nut at the base of the steering column on the top of the steering box. I have tried using a hammer and flat head. I tried a large pair of channel locks. Any other suggestions?

I just installed the re-speed kit last week. My outer steering shaft came out without removing the nut. The lower inner shaft is replaced by the re-speed one, so you just need to separate it from the upper inner shaft by whatever means necessary -- mine just took a couple hammer taps, but I think I got lucky. You can leave the lower one attached to the box and therefore the nut can stay on.
