The inner parts of worm are behind the freeze plug thing. It will probably be damaged when removing unless the worm gear is actually removed and you can put a drift through from that side and push it out. I don't remember the little clip that supposedly keeps the bearing on the shaft. That may be the culpret instead of the big one that holds the bearing into housing. Interesting, that. Now I'm trying to remember if the actual worm comes out or just the sleeve that has slots on one end for armature. If your entire worm comes out, it could well be missing the small clip but don't think it explains the problem. That still sounds like the bearing moving.

By centering the bar in the hole, it ensures that the rear is in the position where the small bars can be put in their neutral position using the factory dimension. When that neutral position is obtained, then there is no load on the short bars and they can be removed or the front bearing can be removed or the compensator can be removed.

Unfortunately, it will be kinda hard to move things to work on or go for parts with your truck planted there.
