rebuildin steering column
Got steering column all pulled apart because I new the turn signal switch needed to be replaced. It was very dirty so pulled it all the way apart, Going to go ahead and replace the upper and lower bearings. C&G ford parts sells c3dz-3517-a as the part for upper and lower bearing. I have found reference to d0az-3517-a as the lower bearing. Not sure if they are the same part or not. My lower bearing is stuck on the shaft and the upper is where it is supposed to be. Does the lower bearing just have to be pressed back on to the shaft? Also I think I am missing lower bearing seal retainer. Do I need this to hold lower bearing in the bottom of the steering column?

Finally found this diagram. I found everything except the 4x4 M/T diagram. I guess I dont need the retainer plate that I was wondering about. I need 2x 3517s which I think are (c3dz-3517-a), 2x 3518s and my turn signal switch(d0tz-13341-b)

Im glad I research stuff to death and didnt order any bearings listed above. After removing the lower bearing and measuring it, I found that what I thought was right was wrong.
Mine measures the exact same as this bearing. Just need the rubber sleeve to go with it.

My upper bearing is clean and still greased and turns smooth, so its going to stay. None of the bearings I looked at even look like the upper either.

When I did mine I cut the bottom 1/8” or so off the column and installed this aluminum machined bearing mount.
The top bearing I think I got from flashback f100.
