Remove steering column of a 72

[USatC]

need help taking off my steering column. Don't see the roll pin so shouldn't it just come out of the gearbox? Column shifter - is there any linkage I should disconnect?

Appears the roll pin is in place in one of those shoots. It is hollow but looks like it's there, will need to punch it out,

I can see it. Its a roll pin kind

As as for linkages just remove the coat hanger in that picture that's it !

Thanks!

Does it matter which way I knock it out? Is the pin reusable or where can I get a new one?

 

[Nacho-RT74]

yes, either way will work.

Although is advised to be replaced actually it is reusable

it gets a master spline, so consider that when reinstalling

Punched it out but the column won't budge.

I guest can be somehow stuck for the years getting dirt. Maybe WD-40 can help.

You got the bolts out of the column base plate?

Yep. I got it out. Thanks everyone.
