My Rag Joint on my 66 just self-destructed on me. Luckly, I got it home before I was unable to steer it.

I bought a new coupler. Go the old one off.
Now I do not know how to get it back on.

Remove the power steering gear box?
Move the steering shaft? How do I do that?

What do I do? You can see the small space to get in the new coupler.

Please help.

Remove the two rearward bolts of the gear and loosen the third. Swivel the gear up or down to get the clearance you need.
Also a good time to check the integrity of the bolts. Not unheard of to find them severely corroded.

Very much agree with checking for corroded bolts. When I changed over to a Jeep Grand Cherokee box, all three of my bolts were surrounded by dirt/rust and 2 were about 50% gone.

Thank you very much.
I started to do that and stopped. I thought there might be a different way about doing this.
thanks.
