Drop the steering column/shaft from inside the car:
[not neccarily all the steps, or exact procedure, but you get the idea]

1.Undo the crosspin in the steering shaft (near the brake booster).
2.You undo 4 bolts from the steering column, from under the dash.
3. Pull the steering wheel rearwards (towards driver's seat), and it slips off the steeting shaft (where you removed the crosspin).
4. Then you can undo the rubber isolator bushing just above the steering rack.
5. Remove the steering shaft.
6. Remove headers.
7. loosend motor mounts, lean motor on side to remove passenger header.

 

wow, this should be fun. Hopefully everything comes out smoothly... thanks for the info.

 

Are you doing this with the engine in the car. Effingham that!

 

Your steering goes through the headers? What kind of BBK headers do you have? Oh, and yes you will have to raise the motor some.

 

long tubes. Yeah, it sucks.

 

maybe loosen up the starter to get some clearance on the passenger side.

 

Wow every BBK header I ever saw hugged the block away from the steering shaft.

 

^^ true ^^

My BBK LT's, and all I've ever seen, have been wrapped under the shaft (not that it matters for the sake of this thread, but whatever)

 

Mine as well... just purchased and installed them. And I had to remove the starter to finagle the passenger side down... might have to pull yours to get it out.

 

I must be lucky, my 1 3/4's fit without any jacking up or anything, plus they dont go through the sterring shaft.

I've done lots of these and there's a much easier way.

1. Remove the crosspin bolt that connects the steering shaft to the shaft that comes thru the firewall. (The brake booster one, same as above)
2.Loosen the clamp that attaches the steering shaft to the rack.
3.Loosen the steering rack where it connects to the K member.
4.Slide the rack forward about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Sometime you need to remove the swaybar end links so you can swing the swaybar out of your way.
5.Clunk, out comes the steering shaft.

I've done bunches of these and never even opened the car door, much less dropped the steering column.

 

did you send my injectors, chip and afm ? it's been over a week since you got my money.
