65 BJ8--------The adjusting ring on my steering column for allowing the 
steering wheel to move in and out is VERY difficult to turn---have to use a 
large clamp pliers.  When I move it to where it should have loosened the 
steering wheel will not budge-----turning it the other way and the wheel still 
won't budge.

I'm thinking of pulling the steering wheel to check things.

Questions:
*  Do I have to disconnect the wires and pull the column out to check things or 
just the steering wheel.
*  Is it possible to pull the steering wheel and move it slightly out of the 
way without disconnection the wiring at the end of the tube.
*  Anyone else had this problem and if so, what was the cause.

any other words of wisdom are really appreciated.

On another topic, I got a very pleasant surprise recently when I found a large 
tire store very near me that had Vredestines in stock---had innertubes, knew 
how to dismount, pull and add innertubes and how to balance wire wheels, and 
allowed me to be with them the whole time--to add powder i the new tires and 
tape to the wheels.  I found this really rare.

They have many of the VRE 185/70 HR 15's in stock--------amazing to find this 
service.
