Well guys here is where I am. The steering shaft looks pretty cruddy. I took one of my 1" belts for my sander and cut on so I could use it back and forth on the shaft but it's in pretty bad shape.
I still can't figure out how I'm supposed to use the kit they sent me. It said it was to repair a worn shaft. But, I can' tifure out what that small tube with the flare on it is for. If I put it on the shaft, it start's to fit tightly when it gets down where the seal is supposed to run. I figure that the long tube is supposed to push the new seal up into the outer shaft. It just fits too sloppy over the old shaft to do anything. Any ideas? I'm kind of stumped here.
This is the shaft. It’s pretty cruddy looking.

This is down where the seal rides.

This is showing the seal to the right of the shaft about where it would run

I figured the long tube is supposed to be used to push the seal into the outer shaft? It sits sloppy on the steering shaft so it’s no use there.

Here’s a close up of the seal.

The flared part of that small piece matches pretty closely the inner flat ring of the seal.

It also fits inside of that long tube.

Here is the outer shaft with the old seal still in it.
