BX Steering issue

[john62]

Update: I got the clip off and drove the end seal loose. The seal will move about 1/4" since removing the retainer but won't come out. The opposite end is even with the cylinder. Does it need to be driven out further? I tried but didn't want to go overboard.

Yay! ... I may have used air pressure to get it fully out. There is some danger due release of compressed air energy when it comes out, so i dont recommend it. Cant you drive the rod further with a soft punch acting on the bottom of the threaded hole of the rod? ... -- ... You may want to tap the endseal back in and make sure you created no burrs removing the clip before you force the endseal/guide on out.
