Hot Rods F1 pitman question

Hope I'm doing this right! First post here. I've seen where someone(parked @ a show) reversed their pitman arm so it sat over the gap between the frame & 'bone. If you've done it, I'd like to know how you reversed the tapered spline. Mine sits right over my 'bone which I don't like in case of a broken spring, it would jamb up & I'd loose my steering. I know a pic would be best & I'm going to learn how to do that next. Thanx, Dave

 

Heat it and bend it to where it needs to be, then have it magnafluxed to check for cracks.
