Paul,
IMHO this is not the way to go. The end plate must be installed in such a
way that there is NO end play while allowing freedom of movement. With the
bugger of a job it was to accomplish this on the bench, I can't imagine that I
could get this done with the steering box in place. I guess it is possible
that if you remove it and are careful to replace it with the same
configuration of shims and gasket you will be OK. That stator tube should
slide through
the end plate with it assembled. There may be those that are more creative
in this regard than I, but that is the way I would do it.
I do not recall that the old stator tube that I had had the anti rattle
expansion that far down. I changed over to Mark Macy's stainless that does
not
have that expansion.
