Steering Column Boot

[CraigW]

Are you able to take this off and put back on??

Its the one that goes from the inside of the car to the outside.

Reason Im asking is that I was an idiot when I was doing my pedal box and dropped a nut down when I was disconnecting the steering column.

Thanks.

Not sure on that one mate, Ive got one of them magnets on a stick, its helped me out no end of times, could be worth a try see if you can fish it out. Or you could try having a nose about from the engine side see if you can retrieve it from underneath? Hope you get sorted...

Right I managed to get this off enough from the engine side of the car to allow the nut I lost to drop under the car.

Number 10 goes over the bit in the middle that number to goes onto, but the very outside diameter. But now Im struggling to get it back over onto the metal part. Any advice/easy ways to do it?
