I have been trying to re-install my steering column into my 89 Cherokee and am having trouble lining it up. Even with the help I recruited. It seems that there is just not enough room to get two hands down there to do this without removing the brake booster. I'm really out of ideas.
thanks,

Sometimes you gotta get some stuff out of the way if you got big ol dickskinners.

 

I just did this today. I'm assuming it's a 4.0 and that's why it's so difficult. XD

I had to unhook the brake booster vacuum line at the T junction just ahead of the master cylinder, and that gave me enough room to get one hand down there while I had someone slowly push it towards me while I lined it up. After you get it started, just go and give it a good shove and put the bolt back in.

 

Also, I have fairly large hands if you're wondering. It is possible to do without removing the brake booster.

 

I'll give that a shot when I have a little bit of light left after work tomorrow. And yes it is a 4.0 :-)... Thought it would be a lot easier than it turned out. At least I got the windows up to stop the rain from dropping in.
