Grabbing a 19mm crowfoot this afternoon and trying the lock nut again.
Can anyone think of any causes for non-centering that wouldn't involve the steering box? I know lower ball joints are usually to blame but those were replaced with my LCAs. I don't mind spending the money on a rebuilt gear box, if that would solve the issue.

I'll be impressed if you can loosen it with a crow foot. l believe my Indie did it from below with a box end and heat.
as for the play, if it is not loose between the shaft and coupler and it is as you say at the coupler then it must be play in the connection of the coupler to the steering box.
