Re: Locker abuse
That is press fit just under the yoke and it is just what you think.
They make a rubber ring for some of them, but the floating axle needs a
loose fit.
I don't know if you have room, but they have a plastic two piece one
that bolts on for YJ or TJ fronts.
When you go for the heater core replacement, I 'highly' recommend you
put a GM blower motor in. It puts out more on low than the stock one on
high. I could drive last winter with my coat off, let alone no gloves
or boots! The windows defrost! I am in Canada....
Here is a link on the blower upgrade. If you have a choice of two
motors, the cheaper one with the shorter shaft is the right one.

Re: Locker abuse
I had an occasion to look at a couple of short shafts in the garage over the
weekend, this plate can be peened so that it stays where you put it. On my
spares, I can easily pull it off by hand, but it fits snuggly enough to not
fall off by itself.
Real Jeeps don't have heaters, ask Bill, he'll tell you ...
