My new to me this soon heading to the paint booth for a color change on the body. I need to remove the aluminum firewall plate, but the steering runs through it. So I need to remove the steering rod from the box. There is no coupler, and with all the force I dare apply it doesn’t seem to spline out. I am not familiar with this steering box. It doesn’t look Corvair or Vega or mustang, but I could very easily be wrong. Please help me ID the kind of gearbox and any help with how to remove the steering rod would be great!
