If you got a torch though, that is the best, torch and BFH!

Already got out the BFH. I was ready to put the torch to it. Problem resolved. I can put this in the "I'm a dumba%$ category". The shaft has been replaced. It's "supposed" to have an adjustment in the middle of the shaft. A buddy of mine kept telling me just pry on it and it will uncouple, LOL! After I had him look at it, he understood why our conversations were confused. So, now I fully understand how this one was put in place. They had to unbolt the R&P, put the shaft in place then bolt it down.
So, the manual rack may get put on sooner than I planned. Then I get to make a steering shaft! I'll make sure mine can be taken apart. It is so much fun working on old cars!!!!
