Exactly. The one nearest the road was the worse off in mine. I had a
hell of a time getting the new ones back in, since they had not been
compressed over the years. I used a wonderbar to pry some distance
between the steering components where the disk fit into place. Since
then, having easily removed the steering column and shaft to pull the
dash, I'd spend a few minutes doing that that all the frustrating
prying.
