Steering columns explained

[HXsman]

Hi Innuendo,

Is it fixable?, can I get to it from within the van or have to pull out the whole column ?

Cheers

Undo the steering column shaft at the knuckle joint (engine bay) and you can pull the whole metal collapsible column from within the steering column casing.
Once you have it out you will see where the pin is and whether it has been broken. Fixable? I guess so. take it to an engineer and have a new pin made.
Understand though they are meant to break in an accident.
