1966 deville convertible

The tilt lever on my 68 tilt column was threaded on the tilt mechanism. IIRC the turn signal lever also. They both unscrew. The collar is a press fit over the column itself. I used a slide puller to pull off the housing from the column. That is why the housing is rolled at the top. You do not have to take the buttons off. They are so old, if you get them off without them breaking, they will be so distorted they won't fit properly again. Good luck. Stay safe and go slow.
Ciao,
Mario Caimotto

Thanks Ralph and Mario. The two lever's unscrewed. I never even thought of that. I don't have a puller for that and the local stores don't either. So i'm going to wrap it in the car.
thanks again

So here it is over a year later and i'm finally updating. Every thing is working now except the climate control. Summer will bring a new top. The car is dissasembled ready for cleaning, minor body work and then paint.
