Steering Colum Coupling
The rubber disk between the steering colum and the power steering gear on my 1977 F-250 has rotted out. I cannot figure out how to replace the disk. I bought a new one but I can't get the old one out? Does anyone have a any instructions on how to do this? I am in a hurry as I have is all taken apart and I need the truck soon.

are you talking about the flexible coupling? at least thats what they call it in my manual...I think I'm having the same problem..I can actually pull my steering wheel back and forth and see it pulling on that rubber disc..

according to my Haynes manual, you might want to remove the whole steering pump to access that part, not 100% sure though, it is kind of hazy and does not refer to that part in particular

It is a 2wd. The power steering pump is nowhere near it. The power steering gear is what it is connected to. That thing highlighted in the picture seems to be a bolt with nothing to grip. It makes no sense.

i think that the correct term for the part it a rag joint. there are four bolts that go around the out side that should allow the two halfs to seperate. that is how is appeared to be on my truck (4x4) but i am sure that i would be the same. there are companies that make and sell replacements. i just can't recall the names
good luck
