steering coupler revisited

Well, i fooled around with it for a few hours and got it all loose but couldn’t get enough clearance to pull the coupler and brackets out.  I ended up using the body saw to cut the rivets on half of the bracket.  I would highly recommend this tool to anyone that doesn’t have one.  Its super fun and even my el cheapo from harbor freight @ $20 seemed to do a pretty fair job of a 3/4″ thick piece of metal.
