RE: Steering shaft issue
I am now starting to understand my mistake i should have removed the three screws that are holding retainer for upper main shaft bearing than remove the snap ring holding the main shaft bearing next to put ignition switch to ACC so i release the steering lock and than separate the bracket that holding the main shaft bearing ignitions switch and lock. It was not clear to me first how to remove the upper main shaft bearing. I can say i am lucky i did not broke the wheel locking mechanism but i am not so lucky separating the main shaft in two and i also moved the column tube which is bind together with some nylon bushes but i moved it back so hopefully it will hold in place. Now i must deal with the main shaft to put it back together. I doubt i will find some shop where i can get it nylon coated (not so specialties in my area) and put back together i can screw it together but i am not completely sure about the vibrations from steering rack i think this nylon bushes have some purpose that they have not used screws when they put it together or constructed the main shaft as a whole part. My guess is use some kind of construction glue that will not brake but can handle vibrations as well let it really well dry and than assemble all together. But now i am not sure about the glue type. Also there was some kind of lock bolt used that i don't understand it's purpose if i can't use normal bolt instead. I uploaded the picture in attachment it goes to the longest arm on the bracket. Manual says it it should be tighten until the head brake off.
