John,
A couple of guys mentioned opening the knuckle up a bit to help it slip on
more easily. Is it possible that it has been opened TOO much, so the holes
for the bolt are no longer properly aligned, and the bolt can't pass through
the second hole?
Also it is essential that the bolt hole is exactly lined up with the groove
- if it is a bit off the bolt may get past the groove, but the groove will
push the bolt slightly off-line so it won't go into the hole opposite. Try
turning the steering so you can see clearly through the hole and past the
groove (probably need a small torch) so you can make sure the groove is
lined up right before you start pushing the bolt through. Yes, I know what
you mean about access - for a car that usually gives you so much space to
work it is a damned awkward area to be fiddling in!
Hope you get it sorted,
Richard
