Quick Q bout steering shaft. I do know how to use the search button, but I was curious on some of the options posted. I am doing a ebay header install. I'm in the process of trying to move the steering column over almost a quarter of an inch, but it wont move freely? I can move it a hair by pushing or pulling but it just settles right back in place. Pry bar? Sounds tricky... Also I read that someone had drilled a quarter inch over on the slots for the 3 shaft bolts to the firewall. How could this be done with it all still in the car and not drilling through the firewall? Not so sure how to go about this one. Gotta get the car going for memorial day weekend camping trip.. Leaving thursday and I would like to be able to go for a couple spins before I go the distance..
Thanks for all advice/tips in advance!!

From what I understand by reading the threads, you move the column by pulling it out and slotting the holes in the firewall. Obviously can't be done with the column installed.
[edit] Ah, I should have remembered that the holes in the firewall are threaded. Do what wrd1972 said below. Slot the column flange.

Definitely don't want to mess with the 90 degree difference in the shafts right now.
