How is the pipe attached to the steering box?
Took the tower off today to pull the steering column because it is so sloppy. dressed up a ball joint splitter to turn the end plug off which was hard to turn prob someone banged the end in the past but got it off anyway. The pin has a bit of wear, the IH ones cost $50 (!) but there's this one with bearing balls for $15 on ebay, and says hardened tip... anyone use these? Mine is 1/2" which I assume is original to the Model 100 (some are 9/16" apparently)

Anyway the steering tube is very loose in the steering box. Is that supposed to be tight, and how is that attached? I'm thinking it may be pressed in.
Thanks for any advice
