I removed my steering column to rebuild it (3 on the tree) and I plan to install a WH collapsable lower steering shaft when I put it back together.
Removing the rag joint was a PITA, had to use a cutoff wheel to carefully cut it and then hammer it off. I was very careful not to nick the splines, and I think I was successful, but they still don’t look great to me…. They look worn / gnarled.
Do these look ok / safe enough to put back together?
I know I still need to cut off the “mushroom” end of the shaft, but wanted to make sure this will work before I proceed.
