Hi guys, I’m replacing my lower steering column bearing. I have it slid about 1 inch up the column shaft but it is starting to telescope up into the cabin towards the steering wheel. I can push it in more and get the retainer to seat with the e clip. Could I try pulling down on the shaft with the bearing locked in position to bring it back down? I sanded the corrosion off and lubed the o ring and shaft before installing. I think the shaft needs to come down about 1 more inch. There is enough I can get the pinch bolt on but the shaft is still compressed in the column.Thanks!
