Upper steering coupling

Gsmblue
Side my side of my new and old steering columns.

The shaft at the bottom of the column on the “new” one is inset to the shroud and i am wondering if there is a trick to liberating it or if i am dealing with a damaged column or something else??

Any ideas?

Moved.  And the shaft should pull out like the other one.  At least mine have.

Thanks Gary.

I found the steering column page and saw that there should be some movement. So I removed the screws holding the plastic end cap in place, removed it and sprayed some WD40 in.

I have to take the dog to the vet, when I get back I will wiggle it. Just a little bit ;)
