i believe there is a nice kit for the steering column bearing these days.

in the past or just for a temporary fix many just push it back into place and then use a hose clamp to hold it there.

Yeah, pulling out that steering column is a bite.  Mostly due to the knuckle thing that always seems to be tighter than it needs to be.

OH YEAH, I forgot about that.  Toughest thing to install on a VW I believe.  I may not be able to get one back in with the lack of hand strength these days.
