I assume the column is still in the car.Originally Posted by Five2FiveTD
There is a joint at knee level with a shear coupling, a rubber flex disk. You should be able to push on that and get the column shaft back to the point where the circlip can be popped back into place. It can be difficult to get that circlip back on when holding the column at the right spot, so you might want to get another set of hands.
