Thanks for all of the advice on tightening the nut on the left side motor
mount.

I removed the bolts which hold the steering arms to the kingpins and the
four bolts which hold the steering rack to the frame and loosened the front
pinch bolt on the u-joint.  Before I quit last night I soaked the splines
with penetrating oil.  Is there any trick to getting the lower steering
column out of the u-joint?  I don't want to use too much force for fear of
distorting the collapsible upper section of the column.

Thanks,
