there are some nylon plugs in the slider,if you drill them out you may get the slider to move but i warmed the slider with a blowtorch and the nylon melted out and left the slider free. ;D

Look at the lower part of the stearing shaft where it conects to the stearing box.

If it's long and skinny, it will extend.

If it looks like a solid spring then it won't and you will have to make a spacer.  Or go to the junk yard and get one that will extend.
