I'm customizing, so I have eliminated the box already. Whats with the upper bearing and how does the shaft slide out? Thanks in advance! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | pry the upper bearing out, it has a tiny lip that just laps the top of the tube, catch it with a thin screwdriver or stiff putty knife and tap up, working around the tube .... unless you cut the column at the box, I don't think the shaft comes out, part of box

If you are talking about the outer tube, it is bolted to the bottom of the dash with a u-clamp and special holder plus there might be a clamp at the floor board.
If you really want the shaft out of the gear box, read this manual,http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/booklets/52mts20/5220mts01.htm
Once you have the tube out of the cab, use a broom handle or the steering shaft to knock the bushing out the top of the tube.
Its best not to destroy the gear box, guys like us with the older trucks use your modern gear box to replace our old style ones.
