Trying to remove my steering column.  It is a 3 speed standard on the column.  Trying to remove the shifting ears. First on came right off. Second not so much. It is connected directly to the shifter on the column.  How do I release this? Is it up top in the cab or down here at the ear. Any help would be appreciated

I might just pull the big rubber boot. My new/used column has a good rubber on it all ready

I have never removed an Automatic or Column shift steering column. However looking at the picture I see a small hole at the top , is it a spring load clip? Is the picture I am attaching from my repair manual what you are dealing with?

The whole is where a cup that holds the assembly together bolts up. But you have a point, might be something that gets depressed there or somewhere else.

Just pulled the rubber boot at the fire wall, and the hole in the firewall was big enough to rotate the steering column and pull it out.

Why are you trying to take it off?

The truck was a three speed on the column. Converting it to a floor shift. I purchased a used steering column that came out of a truck with a floor shift. Just looking to swap out the columns

You can swap the column without removing that arm, right, doesn't it come out through the firewall?

If you can't, torch it off.

I am far from a body man... but I'm trying. Between multiple different shape wire wheels, sand paper, wire brushes, and acetone I think the firewall is clean. Hopefully it holds the paint I apply like the original did 49 years ago. My plan is rattle cans. Etching primer and rustoleum matte black. If I'm making a mistake please let me know...

You can remove the column without ripping the shifter arms off. There is a cut out in the fire wall big enough to pull it out hole. Pretty much unbolt everything,  and twist 180 degree. The cutout is just big enough
