Collapsed steering shaft? Help!

The colum is not junk. Pull the colum from the car put it in a vise and pull the bottom of the shaft out far enough to line up the two holes in the center of the shaft. once the two holes are lined up, you can insert a brass pin through the two holes. In case of an accident the brass pin will shear off, and allow the colum to collapse as the factory intended. Once this is done you can install the shaft and it should fit fine.
