See photo, This photo is from a 2011 E350 Cabriolet steering shaft assembly & coupler. I could use some suggestions on reassembly. The splines appear to be offset, some roughly 3 splines wide, others 1-2 splines wide. I didn't want to use force thus I write to this forum. An

Line up the splines and push it together... or am I missing something?

Maybe would have helped to mark the orientation before yanking apart next time.
