I need some help with a problem.
I went to reassemble the steering column again because when I did the first time it has a 1/4 - 1/2" play in the wheel and shaft. I went to the JY and got extra column pieces. I put it together and the St. wheel liked a good quarter from being seated against the collar?
I assembled as follows
1 new column tube seal Rubber at end of tube
(long shaft steering box)
2 assembled the two small collars
3 put on turn signal plate
4 wheel
= loose as hell
Have I lost any pieces? 2 year disassembly & 1 move to a new house Someody have an answer? thanks Mike

Did you get the wheel back down on the splines of the shaft all of the way?  ------------------

Try a BFH and large socket or piece of pipe as a drift punch to get it down farther on the splines. ------------------

It has the slop in the collar. It's like the bearing in the second collar is not touching anything. With out the wheel on I can jiggle the sterring shaft a good 1/4" kinda like a door stopper....
