There, that’s better! Steering wheel and upper bearing are nice and tight.

Finally got around to fixing this. Chose to drill/heat out the plastic pins in the lower shaft and telescope it down by 1/2”. Glad I did because I also made a few other tweaks during the install to fix some things that weren’t completely right before. Fourth time’s a charm!
