Re-setting steering shaft
Long story short, I loosened the engine subframe to get it down to make dropping in my new engine easier.
To get the subframe down I also loosened the intermediate steering shaft in the engine bay and it popped out of its spline when lowering the subframe as planned, however in the heat of the moment I forgot to lock the steering wheel in place and it spun counter clockwise when the shaft went out.. now I did mark the orientation of the shaft, but I don't know how much the shaft spun round when it popped out, which means I could be off by one (or more?) revolutions when re-installing it. Is there any way to "reset" the steering shaft? Thinking I might have to take of the steering wheel and check the clock spring maybe?
