The lower column pad on my '73 has four screws attaching it to the column assembly. I can't seem to figure out how the top pad comes off. I see no fasteners so I assume it justs pulls off... Help please!

I just replaced my top pad on my 71, don't know if it's the same as yours, but I have four slotted head screws that go in from the bottom and thread in to the top pad. Once I removed these screws the top pad lifts right off. Hope this helps.

Remove the lower pad and lower column case, then unscrew the pad from the upper case. _________________ ClayW

Thanks guys! My top pad looks like someone before me tried prying (prising?) first. Anyone have a mint top pad for sale? I'll post on the parts link too.

The one I need is the flat (humpless) one. I looked for that exploded view on realoem but couldn't find it.
