I was having a rough day..wanted to change Steering coupler....
I have the coupler in place ..had to pull the steering shaft a bit (steering wheel off, ring for the ball bearing off ...pulled the steering shaft in order to get access to this coupler)
but now I can't get the steering shaft fully back into the steering housing. Can't secure the ball bearing...
In my dispair (I tried everything for hours) I want to pull the steering shaft entirely..because I want to see what is not working here...and the rubber boot came off...grrrrrr.
In order to get the shaft out I need to get this clip at the shifter shaft turned and out....I tried but can't turn this damned clip. Middle of the picture.
Need help here.

Any idea why the steering shaft does not want to go all the way back (I used a hammer and wood..but nothing is moving).
