I am replacing the steering wheel and switch.. Now when I am putting it back together and turn the key it pushes the two pieces of colum apart where the gear lever and the two collars come together and want crank.. I can hold them together and it cranks find. The crank rod to the switch inst broke.. Did I leave something out between the two collars.. That holds them in place or any ideals please...
