borgeson steering shaft install help

shaft is disconnected at both ends-(steering box and inside cab, by firewall). the problem i can't figure out is how to get the shaft out through the firewall!! i don't see a set screw on the oem rag joint to take it of, so just the shaft passes through the rubber grommet. i tried to remove the big rubber grommet, but that did not work-does not look like it can be taken out and put back in. any suggestions??

extended length is 30 inches-that is the correct length for the 950 model for my truck- but it is a good two inches too short! i do not understand this!
