Hi all I am new to this group and hope you guys can give me advice.
The story goes like this.
My daughter owns a TS 2002 Astra and had a gearbox failure.
Her boy friend decided to put in a new gearbox and dropped the engine and box out.
To his credit he put in a new rear engine oil seal and clutch.
However for some reason he stuffed the concentric slave requiring him to take it all out again and fit the old box concentric back.
I know this is a bit long winded but about this time he left the scene.

So now I have to try and piece together the meccano set left behind.
Not sure all the bolts are there but I will work through it as time goes on.

Here is the first question.
When he put the engine and box back in and bolted up, somehow he neglected to slip the steering column shaft onto the steering rack.
So is it possible to fit this back without dropping the engine/box out or pulling the steering column out.

Thanks in advance
Peter R
