I have an 83 GL wagon that I pulled the steering column out to do some work on it.The works all done but now I can't quite get the steering column all the into its proper place in the firewall.Is there something I should be doing to make it easier?I don't want to break anything by pushing to hard.

 

thanks in advance.

hi, check if the rubber seal is out of place in the firewall, it should have a full lip on both sides of the firewall , if it got pulled out of position it could be part of the problem. there are some screws or bolts at the bottom of the column that might bind some going through the seal, ( might use some silicone spray lube ) but generally it will slip right through, then start the bolts at the upper bracket,, don't forget the ground wire that goes on one of them.

or, you could actually look.and figure it out by using deduction.you know, like regular people.
