          Large flat head screwdriver works, just make sure it is flat against the column, otherwise you'll screw up the spline.

                YAY! I have not dealt with that spring myself, but generally I use a couple of wire ties to compress a spring like that, just make sure you can clip them and remove them when it is time.

                Closing SOON!

                  i used a big spacer made out of some 3/4 copper pipe with a couple washers that fit around the column tightly and just tightened it down with the nut and slipped the clip on, worked like a charm
