This was all explained to you 3 days ago in your other post. Why are you starting another post?
The other post didn't directly address taking the column off and I was hoping to garner advice/thoughts on the issue with a new post and title.
I've already purchased 00 grease from tractor supply (per the other post) and am going to drain the steering box and put the new 00 in. Hoping that solves the problem.
