My steering started squeaking occasionally recently, then it got very stiff to move the wheel from straight ahead. These were both intermittent faults so I applied the tried and tested technique of ignoring them.

That worked a treat for a while but the squeak is getting more persistent and the steering lock up more dramatic so with next week off work I thought I would have a play.

Google tells me to replace the lower column bushing/bearing by removing the steering column. I guess I might as well do the op bearing while it is out.

Anyone done this before?

Any hints or tips or do I just rely on Google and YouTube?

Do you want a How To / How Not To thread if I do attempt this?
