Ok this morning is game time. I started out early had my DD coffee and a trip to the hardware store for a few odd Kubota bolts. I went down and spent about an hour cleaning my basement work bench. Only toll I needed from my shop was a steering wheel puller. When I was looking for a horn button I came across lots of new GM parts. Always happy to find stash you forgot about. Must have never needed them but bought them from the local dealer a little at a time. I thought I would be CUCVing forever. I guess over 20 years is a fair run.
First thing is to remove the 4 bolts holding the mounting bracket to the column. Done. ![DSCF6843.JPG DSCF6843.JPG](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/543/543017-a14acb337aaca1280fe591143d3fb42e.jpg)
Following the GM manual I clamped the column in the vise using the weld nuts that the support bracket was attached to.
Now to remove the steering wheel. ![DSCF6846.JPG DSCF6846.JPG](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/543/543020-b1c7cc0feb1664aa28fbaaec0b0c7e39.jpg)
Done. Lots of mud and crud in there. I used the small brush and broke all the clumps free. I see a strange piece. It looked like broken plastic and my heart sank.
It is a Shark tooth, Never knew they used Sharks teeth. maybe that is the HD part. I am going down and tear into again. I will report back. meanwhile if any Sharks are missing a tooth I have it here in Jonestown.
