Does anyone know how to install the lower bearing assembly onto the steering column shaft. My photos got deleted during the disassembly process. When I went to rebuild the bearings. Some photos of how It gets assembled will greatly help the assembly process of the whole column

I have an exploded view of my 55 here, https://forums.cadillaclasalleclub.org/index.php?topic=162955.0  post 17.  It will be very similar to yours.  Also a screen shot of the master parts list which shows the lower end of the steering column has the parts shown.

 I have the parts manual and service manual but the pictures in them are terrible for showing detail and don't look like exactly what I have. these are the pics of everything on the bottom of the shaft. not sure if I even assemble the bearing the right way. the main thing is the order and direction the items attach to the bottom is what I'm looking for.
