here is what I did.. I had posted this but it did not show up????
I thought it would have helped.
Hell I did not have a nightmare like you, it took an hour out and an 2 hours in.
Stuffed the first seal but good with the second, no leaks.
But I was aware to make sure the spline lined up and it was a pain.
The drift made it much easier.
Oh and well done...

Wait,,,, spread the PINCH and just turn the steering wheel slowly until the space on the post on the top of the wrack and pinch bolt holes line up???? I know that that is not welcomed info now, but... Yeah, for the next dude, I think that's the ticket... I don't believe removing the whole of the wrack is absolutely necessary...

Oh and... Brother, I promise I don't mean to be *that guy*... I am not usually the one who sprinkles doubt and fear...
I would really say keep an eye on it OR BETTER, feelers out. The tower suffers an incredible amount of heat due to its proximity to the exhaust... The washer that goes into that space might need to be of a variety that can withstand that kind of temperature... I felt I aught to throw that out there. Keep an eye on it,,, specially in the warmer months.

I don't think it would have been best practice or case senerio to turn/spin the pinch over the post MUCH (could strip and such) but I think for the process of locating and sending home the locator bolt it would have been okay... That's with the pinch-er section opened up a bit wide.
Lol,,,, did that make ANY sense at all?

From what I remember,,, and it's been a while (but pain teaches and sears the memory) that the PINCH of the structure, the actual clamping section coming off the column, is perfectly round with the "eye" that receives the bolt. The eye is situated in such a way that the bolt CAN'T go thru unless the grooooove in the post lines up with the "eye" exactly (I'm sorry I don't know the proper terminology). The "eye" is set deeper than the actual outer circumference of the post but perfectly with the notch ... In that,,, the pinch WITHOUT the bolt placed will actually turn around and over the post UNTIL the locator bolt is driven home,,, securing/determining the position of the connection... If that makes any sense?
