Rag Joint - How to Determine Size?

I have read every post I can find but still cannot determine my rag joint size. Counting the splines on the input shaft I see 32 not including the "missing" splines on the flat portion. The rag joint itself has 9 splines, I assumed I miscounted and it was a Lares 201 (31 spline but I read you need to include how many splines would be there without the flat spot so mine would be more like 36) but that one had 11 splines on the rag joint itself.

Related question, how do you move the steering shaft that connects to the rag joint back to insert the rag joint. My original one was in ok condition but I snapped it trying to pry the steering shaft back with a ball joint fork. I did drop the column inside the vehicle before hand. Thanks, been struggling with this job for several days now.
