how not to fix your mates steering column

[ozbox]

i had a customer drive up from sydney this morn with his wb steering column that his mate was helping him fix......:eek:
his mate was helping him put the top bearing in so it wouldnt come out again,he did achieve that but in the process he did this...:eek:
ive seen columns from hq to wb that have been involved in serious accidents that havent collapsed this far...:confused:

needless to say he needed another complete column..his one was not a fixer..

EDIT...STOP PRESS..there may be more to this than meets the eye and the story so far....stay tuned...
