Starting to put my column back together and the steering shaft just slides right thru the lower bearing race.  Is it supposed to be that easy?   Here's a pic of the bearing that I'm taking about.

Thanks, Bill.

When things go together easily, on this car, I get worried.  Most things seem to be difficult.   :lol:

Just as an fyi,
the inner shift tube is left natural and the lower shift lever is/was yellow zinc di-chromate originally
