How do you remove steering coupler?

[chaps70rt]

Hi again CP .... I was attempting to re-install my steering column to the box last night.  I re-installed the coupler to the shaft, but had difficulty getting the coupler to attach to the steering box spline.   Should it need a few shots with a hammer or simply slide on and be secured by the rolled pin once in place?   Perhaps there is an alignment issue with the coupler and spline?    Thanks ....

I think one spline is wider than the others, -

Cowboy's right. One other thing, sometimes when you have it apart you accidentally hit the splines with something (like a wrench or whatever) and peen the end a little bit. Might have to touch up the splines with a file.

on the lower edge of the coupler there is a small notch , it lines up with the master spline , one spline is missing in both the coupler & the sterring shaft in the box , make sure you have the couple assembled correctly on hre the column or your steering wheel will be upside down
