Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Attached photos show the bumpers that came with my car. I do not believe they are Packard bumpers but need some help identifying them.
Also, I have been trying to remove the steering arm from the shaft from the steering unit so I can remove it from the frame. I have not been able to budge it. Photo shows gear pullers on but it will not move. Any suggestions?

The shaft that the arm is stuck on is tapered and splined which equates to a lot of surface area where the two parts meet each other. I had to use lots of heat (with an O/A torch) and oil to get mine off. I can't help with your bumpers.

One last thing, I would mark the shaft and arm with a punch or similar before taking it off. That way you'll know which set of teeth to align it with when you put it back together. Good luck.
