There is also a KM Packard Tools Book here on the website that has illustrations of most of the speciality tools.

Okay guys, with your help and advice, the steering column has officially been removed from the Packard. After my debacle Sunday with the steering wheel puller, I ended up retapping the two holes, and the 5/16" bolts fit nicely in the new holes. After completing the installation of the steering wheel puller, we tightened the bolt, and the wheel came off perfectly.
I also rented the pitman arm puller and was able to disconnect the pitman arm without a problem. With both the arm and the steering wheel disconnected, the column slid right out of the car. I've confirmed that there are no connection points left between the body and frame, and the car will be blasted in October. Thanks again for all of your help, and I know that I'll be posting more topics as I struggle through the restoration of the One-Twenty. Attach file:  (68.26 KB) (55.96 KB) (66.47 KB)
