<VV> FC Steering jacket removal help needed

[J R Read_HML]

I think that you want the '61 chassis manual pages 4-10 and 4-11. 
Essentially (after you've removed everything that is in the way) it simply 
says "6. Carefully work mast jacket from steering shaft."

Now, they are talking about cars in this section - so I'm not sure if it 
applies or not to FCs.  But based on what I'm reading, if you are 
encountering resistance, it might very well be rust.

I can't find my tech guide.  OK, who did I loan it to?

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
