Drivetrain 1987 Mustang notch drive questions

[Shannonfox123]

I have a complete rebuild foxbody 1987 and I bought the k member support from team z for a ls swap and a new steering rack also. I purchased the borgeson steering shaft and it’s about one inch short. Any help here? Second steering shaft as I thought the first one was a mistake. Thanks in advance

You need to pull the steering column shaft out of the steering column.

So when you look under the dash there is an outer sleeve that is pressed into the bracket closest to the firewall. Tthe steering shaft slides in and out of the outer sleeve. When you are removing the upper part of the factory intermediate shaft (what connects the steering column to the rack) you typically want to use a set of vise grips on the inside of the car so that when pulling that upper part of the intermediate shaft out of the steering column you do not pull the steering shaft out of the column. Found this picture on eBay (it's $299 so if anyone needs a clock spring...)...
