Steering Column Repair: 1977 corvette tilt/telescopic breakdown, turn signal switch, cart icons


Question
Hello, my turn signal switch has broken on the inside of the steering wheel column and I don't know exactly how to get to it. I have removed the entire steering column in order to get to the problem easily. Thanks for your time

Hi Jason:
Actually, removing the column makes the job a harder because you have nothing to secure the column while you are working on it, but it can be done with a vise.  
We have recently uploaded some videos on our company website to give you first hand viewing of how to remove, disassemble, and reassemble the tilt column you are talking about. You will also need to view (and print) the pages for disassembling a telescopic portion of the upper end located on this page first:

Then you can click on the other pages that 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 and instructions help you.
Lastly, if you need parts to repair this column simply locate the part and you can purchase it directly through the shopping cart icons on the parts pages or by direct email  or phone contact.  We stock just about everything you would need to repair your car properly.
Good luck
