hi finally manage to remove the lower end of the steering column, and have cleaned up the hole. now when i try the bushing on the end of the shaft, is very tight. is this normal?, or do i need to file the bushing abit!. (reluctant as i don't want to give any play when finished) Bushing is from Martin. when i push the splines back in, is it best to copper grease or something so that they'll come back out easy if i need to recorrect the wheel alignment? thanx for any help Steve vin 1621 ------------------------ Yahoo!
