i'm trying to adjust my steering box (2 tooth) but i'm having a problem when i turn to lock clock wise the col. wants to pull out of the steering box. i'm trying different things but seem to be fighting myself. i've got the ford a manual with the steering adjust section but it doesn't talk about my problem. any ideas? thanks
 
at the bottom of the col. there's a collar with a nut/bolt,then a bolt with a jam nut. i don't find any screw.

That's the one! If you loosen the lock nut and tighten the bolt, it will push the top bearing down to tighen it, but be careful, I've seen a few cracked top bearing outer races from forcing the race. Of course you also have to loosen the clamp before tighening the bearing race adjustment bolt.
 
thanks.....i think i did that but didn't have the collar loose, like i said i did a bunch of stuff and was chasing myself !!!! again thanks
