Default Re: 1978 Mustang II

So much fun working on old cars, LOL!!!!

Anyone have advice on how to "unfreeze" an old ancient intermediate steering shaft? I have all the bolts loose on the thing. It actually has a rag joint at the bottom of the steering shaft, so someone has replaced it at some point. I believe these had the plastic joint from the factory.

It would be easier to convert it to a manual R&P (which I plan to do, just not now). The header will eventually have to be removed from the car for one reason or another without removing engine. Have to move the shaft for now just to trial fit the header.
