I may be too blurry-eyed and lacking cognitive thought.... be kind.
I also searched, but didn't come up with an answer. How do I remove the original carpet piece that has the grommet going though the U-Joint steering column/rack? Do I have to drop the rack? Seperate the U-Joint? Ideas for path of least resistance appreciated. Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Greg |

If you have great original carpet, you want to take apart a joint and do it right. If it’s driver quality, I would just make a cut in the carpet.

Definitely drivers quality. But think it could clean up nice and be a solid 8 out scale of 10. Question - to preserve carpet in-tact, do I have to drop the steering rack; or do I tackle it from the steering column / u-joint? |
