I need to remove the column and wheel drive and then dissamble the old system as to remove the geared part and use part of the old column and wheel drive. How can it be accomplished?
Any tips on dissambly will be appreciated.

There have been discussions on that topic before. All you will need to do is do a search here on the stovebolt and I believe you will find out what you are looking for. You may find some other ideas as well  Most involve cutting the steering column outer tube and leaving the internal shaft at a longer length so an end piece can be fabricated onto the shaft. there is a bearing that will fit over the internal shaft and inside the column tube. Then you can mate the end of the steer shaft with a coupler piece to match the coupler on top of the power steering gear-box. Make ABSOLUTELY SURE of your measurements BEFORE you start cutting

Click on the search and try different ways/words to search (steering column, column conversion, steering box conversion, things like that)
Type in steering column conversion and see what you get. If it does not work, let me know.

On the other hand I removed already the drive wheel. It is cracked a little. Is it repairable?. Chances are some glue like those that say "liquid steel", and so forth.
