Thread: '79 Caprice Steering Column Help

I can't see any sort of a retaining clip and it is on there tight. Any ideas where to go next? The column is a tilt unit from a '79 Caprice I believe. Here is a picture of the piece I am trying to remove.


Thanks!

you have to push that plate down stu, and there is a snap ring you have to get out. most parts places has the tool.
