Dear Fellow Members,
I just joined, but have been unable to find a solution.
Recently, I had to replace my car battery; after I did, the tilt function would no longer work. When I push the ****, all I hear is a grinding sound.

Anyway, in my attempt to effect a repair, I removed the cover on the steering column, then removed the metal plate that covers the plastic gear and wheel. After removing the small nut and washer from the top/center of the blue wheel, there was yet another "oval-shaped nut" that I was unable to remove. It appears that I have to remove that before I can try to pull the wheel out to align with the gear.

Any advice, insight or photos will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Wallace

Thanks, Bob. I'm hoping that all of these models are the same.
I'll give this another try.
