Default Header install issue.

Installing obx headers right now, and just about done, but I cannot for the life of me get the steering shaft back on. Any tricks, am I missing something simple?

What part of North Austin are you in? I'm in Leander. If you possibly have time to lend a hand tomorrow, I would really appreciate it. I've given up for the night. I even took the header off on the driver side, and the steering shaft will still not go on. Either I've done something wrong, or I'm just tired and missing something stupid.

Came out this morning, and got it on in about twenty minutes. Just needed to step away from it, and get some rest. Bolting up the catback right now.

No sir. No rubbing at all.

Thanks man. It was worth the frustration the first time we turned the key with open headers.
