Upper bearing housing screws

Post by tgall595 »

I’ve hit a wall in an attempt to inspect and service steering components on my 69 D200. I loosened the screws in the upper bearing housing too much and seem to have lost bolts or whatever was holding them in place. I can’t find a good diagram and can’t get the housing off to see what I’ve done wrong, does anyone have experience with this that can offer some advice? Thanks (picture/diagram of screws I’m talking about)

Cannot attach the photo.

He's talking about upper coller the shifter arm sticks out of where the 2 screws you loosen to remove coller from column. Ones basically under turn signal switch.
He removed screws entirely dropping square nuts into column and can't figure out how to pull it up/off steering shaft.
