Nice work!

I'm wondering how to remove the steering shaft column bearing, just after removing the snap ring. I don't want to remove the column, but just get to the ignition switch. The factory manual refers to a Miller C-4044 tool, but this function seems for removing the steering shaft, which I hoped I would not have to do to get access to the ignition switch. Maybe all I need is more force to remove the column component with the bearing...

It can be tight. I don't have a good answer. I made a tool but it works better with the column out.

I bought a harmonic balance removal tool and matched the screw threads near the column bearing with 3 6" screws. I put 3 washers to hold the screws to the removal tool, as they are much smaller diameters that the balancer tool threads. Screw them into the 3 holes near the bearing assembly and work the tool as intended, which is like solving 4 equations at once to get the parts in contact while keeping the directions straight. You don't want to cross-thread the screw holes. Turn the center bolt clockwise and the bearing will pop out. Next, I have to get the pin out of the column to remove the ignition switch, which is all I wanted to do in the first place.
