Hi,
I have something very strange.
After replacement of the bearing at the top of the steering column (#14)

(this to solve the backlash)
I noticed that I can't place the Steering column Lock nut anymore.

It is only possible when I don't place the split collet pair.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Does anyone have an idea of the root cause?
Thanks,
Harrie

Mistery is solved.
It was my own mistake. The split collets pair should be placed after assembling of the steering column nut.
Lesson learned: Always make more pictures than needed
