Steering Column Repair: Broken turn signal lever, pontiac transport, chevrolet truck


Question
My girlfriend broke the turn signal lever on her 1995 pontiac transport. its broke near the bottom of the stalk, so the bottom base part is still attached. can it possibly be repaired with some sort of glue or bonding adhesive? or would it have to be replaced completely?

Answer
Hi B:
You won't be able to glue it and make it last.  You will have to remove the broken piece.  Most of the time, the upper portion of the column needs to be dis-assembled to accomplish this...you have to push the broken piece out from the inside out.
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. 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 this helps.
