Hi All. This winter, I pulled the entire front end on my car and am almost done putting it back together. Refreshed the rubber parts and eye bolts on the tie rods. I also pulled the steering rack to refresh the coupling and bearing under the gas tank.

I took care to insert the new eye bolts on the rack back to where they were and even double checked the distance between the eye bolts and clocked them per the manual.

Now everything is back together but when I turn either side to the stop, the bolt head on the yoke hits the locking end plate on the rack.

I thought perhaps to flip the yoke so the bolt head would not get in the way but cannot figure out how to get it in from the other side.

Am I missing something??

Thanks.
