Steering Column got shorter....

I accidentally sheared my pin cause I set the column down a bit hard on the concrete. So, I clamped a pair of vice grips on lower part near coupler and tapped downwards / outwards on the top side of VG w hammer to the correct length and the plastic shear pin holes were nearly lined up.

IT seems unlikely mine would slip in or out on its own considering how much force was required to pull it back out to position.

A person could get a plastic bolt at the hardware store and drive into place where the shear pin resided.
