I'm trying to put my stock steering wheel back on after replacing the little spring for turn signal switch. Is there a trick to this or do I just crank on the big nut in the middle to get it to seat? It's only got to go probably 1/8 more maybe less. Thanks Thumbs up

Did you remove the lock plate to get to the turn signal switch? I've had an issues recently with the turn signal cancelling cam being a slightly different design that kept the lock plate from compressing down far enough to seat the lock ring in place.

Yup. I did but that is all back together and good. I just don't want to damage the column by using too much force on it,since it is a collapsible column and a bearing or something can be damaged.

You can pull the steering wheel into position by tightening the securing nut which I think is 3/4"? Factory GM manual says to torque steering wheel securing nut to 30 ft lbs. Hope this helps.
