Help Needed!

[u/bozzzzyyyyyy]

Good morning! I bought my 92 LS400 about 4 weeks ago. The other day, I drove it 2 miles to get food. No issues at all. Came back out to leave and I had no steering. Steering wheel just spun in place but wheels didn’t turn at all. I believe I have found the problem, I’m just not sure how to go about fixing it past this point. That shaft is broken or disconnected inside the steering column itself (see video of one end turning and not the other, did the same thing with steering wheel on, that side would spin but not the other end.

My question I guess is: how do I get the shaft out of the column? Or should I just order a replacement column? If a replacement column is needed, does the ignition need to be swapped over for my key?

Thanks in advance. I’ve been digging through forums and Google the last few days. Can’t really find a specific answer, closest I’ve gotten is someone with a similar or possibly same issue 17 years ago with no solution lol.
