Steering Column Repair - Lower Bearing

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

Remove the whole column at once.  It's simpler to do what you want to do 
(replace lower bearing) that way.
After disconnecting the electricals, it just a matter of the U-joint clamp 
bolt and the bolts that hold the housing under the dash.
>From whom did you source the new bearing?
