Ignition Block Removal
« on: 29 April 2007, 18:04 »
Help needed,

I have a Mk1 VW Golf Clipper Cabrio on a 1992 plate.

The car needs a new ignition block and after taking off the steering wheel and the majority of the block (as the car was stolen and therefore cracked) I noticed that the bearing remained on the steering column. I thought I would try and remove the new bearing from the new block however it was rock solid and would not come out (I cracked the new block trying!!)

I have tried to take the bearing off the steering column however this has only bent after using a bearing pulley!!

Can you tell me what I need to do? Either take the bearing off or get an ignition block without a bearing inserted?

If the bearing should have remained connected to the steering column, and as I have bent it trying to remove, what are my options?

Please help I am getting conflicting advice?
