Re: Stuck Transmission Gearshift Shaft - 1950 Deluxe

Wes and HH56 - I have resigned myself to the removal of the shifter shaft and the steering column, but already hit a snag on just removing the steering wheel. I appreciated the YouTube video, but my '50 steering column looks quite a bit different than the '47. I don't see any screws exposed and definitely don't want to start prying on anything unless I know for sure prying is required. I've also looked ahead at removing the shroud over steering and gear shift columns and haven't solved that puzzle either. Removing the wiper knob, the turn signal arm and the gear shift was the easy part, but it looks as if the only way is for it to slide down the column once it's released either from under the steering wheel or the clamp halfway down the column - or maybe both. Any direction you can give me on the steering column and shroud is appreciated.
