problems installing steering rack. step inside.
well the motor in my car is out and I'm trying to put the steering rack back on so i I can get this car towed to the shop. the reason the rack needs to be in is so they can actually steer the car in the shop.
anyway I cant seem to get the the little stubby shaft on the rack connected to the steering column, do I need to use force or is there a certain way this will goi in? may be its not aligned right with the column and if i unlock the steering wheel I an adjust it to fit. how did you guys do it?

It slides in from the side, 1 side is flat and the other has a slight curve so it will only go in from 1 direction.
If your having a problem then something has already rotated and you will probably need a tech II to straighten it out but for right now just rotate either the steering column or the shaft on the rack 180 degrees and it should slide right together.
