Default G2 Steering Column length

Can I shorten this column without getting into a mess? How is the column held into the steering gearbox? It looks like something best left alone..

Thank you, Trent

The easiest way is to shorten the shaft by cutting it in half,and having it welded and sleeved by a good welder or welding-shop.Another option is to have it machined with a "D"(flat-spot) on each half,then get a weld-on "Double-D" adapter.They use these on custom cars,trucks,and race-cars.It needs to be done properly to keep it straight and strong.Hope this helps.

The column is pressed into the steering box if I remember right. If you shorten it , do it on the steering wheel end. It comes apart easy. I would get a pipe or tube that fits snug on the shaft to sleeve it with and cut it somewhere around the middle .
