Installing steering shaft...

It is hard enough for me to remember what I did last year but trying to remember what my son did when we took the car apart...no way.

Problem....we are installing the steering shaft ...

We did not lose the pin that holds the shaft to the power steering unit and the coupler was not taken off the shaft..btw, we will paint it later.

We have gotten so far..

I think the coupler has to go down much farther...but it is not moving...do we take a rubber mallet to it and motivate it lightly ?

Second question...when we were plugging the wires connecting to the steering column, we notice that an orange wire has been disconnected.....the only think we can think of is the original owner put a fm/cassette deck into it...could this have been for lighting or power ?

Thanks as always..
