I just got back to the office from getting something to eat. I still have my wrench in the car, so I pulled the steering wheel off again.

When turning the steering wheel shaft, the sleeve turns with the shaft, then stops while the shaft continues to turn. I think this is where the wear on the steering shaft happens. I think the sleeve is not thick enough to hold on to the steering shaft, making the shaft, sleeve, and inner bearing race act as one piece.

Maybe like I said, it could be possible that the bearing was somehow damaged when I tapped the sleeve onto the shaft. From what I recall, it went on pretty easily though.
