Steering Column Repair: canceling cam and lock plate on a 86 jeep cj7, jeep cj7, chevrolet truck

Question
I replaced the ign gear on said column and did not watch which I took off the lock plate....put it on by a guess but the canceling cam is hard to move under the lock plate, must have the lock plate on wrong?????? Is there a correct way it is to be installed?

Answer
Hi Ron:

I sounds like y may have the lock plate on in the wrong position.  It only goes on 1 way.

We have recently uploaded some videos on our company website to give you first hand viewing of how to remove, disassemble, and reassemble the loose tilt column you are talking about. They are broken down into step by step 2-3 minute detailed videos with instructions. Although the videos are for a Chevrolet truck, the column is very similar to yours.

I hope these videos help you.  If not, please contact me again for more information.
Lastly, if you need parts to repair this column simply locate the part and you can purchase it directly through the shopping cart.  We stock just about everything you would need to repair your car properly.
Good luck
