II have read the thread started by “griff” in 2009 and seem to have a similar problem but I do not see the solution.
I presume that the circular indent in the outer tube is real, and the inside of the tube is otherwise clear. I can press a bushing in above the ridge, but it is then firmly located and prevents the outer tube from reaching the steering wheel. There is already a bushing at the bottom end of the tube .
So the only way I can insert the top bushing is to remove ( destroy) the bottom bushing with its location buttons and slide the top bushing up the shaft and hope it does not slide back down again. The bushing is a loose fit on the inner shaft once I had got it over the serrations on the bottom end, but will be a tight fit in the outer tube which will make it tough to push up. The new bottom bushing will then have to be forced over the serrated end. (wish it would come off but it seems well and truly stuck.) I suppose I could leave the bottom bushing off!
I hope that makes sense. I will post a photo or two later but I left them in the “garage” which is a distance away.
