87 steering wheel question
I'm having a problem getting the tilt lever to sit flush against the nut on top of the steering wheel in order for me to put the 2 screws in to hold against the middle tilt star screw. The star middle screw doesnt go in all the way and stops. This is causing the tilt lever to sit at an angle and I cant get it to seat right. Is there something I'm forgetting or not doing right?

That is where I'm stuck. I cannot get the lever to stay on top of the nut in order for me to screw in the middle star screw. The star screw stops upon screwing in down into the shaft to sit above the nut. This causes the lever to tilt on one side for me to be unable to put the 2 final screws in. Hope I'm making sense.
Here is an illustration...

I thought you were talking about the tilt lever, not the Telescopic lever. Sorry, I have never disassembled a telescopic steering column.
