The intermediate shaft looks fine to me. When I seat the bearing at the firewall it pushes the shaft in the cab out. I put the new wheel on again, used my DeWalt 18v impact driver and took it to the point it wouldn’t move the socket. Decided to get the 1/2” impact out. I let her rip for a few seconds with it barely tuning the nut. I gave up before I damaged anything. If I push the shaft down the bearing at the firewall goes down. Here’s what it looks like now with the bearing pushed in.
