Aligning my steering wheel!

Hey guys how do I go about aligning my steering wheel. I installed a new power steering gear and my steering wheel has turned 90 degrees to the right . I have taken the steering wheel off and turned it 90 degrees to the left to no avail. Steering wheel wouldn't go back on due to the airbag sensor/clock spring. I have also tried disconnecting the steering shaft that connects to the power steering gear with no avail due to the the power steering gear input shaft having a flat side on it which matches the steering shaft. Is there a nut on the power steering gear that I can use to make this adjustment?!!!!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-Jan-01 AT 02:18 PM (EST)[/font][p]My steering wheel is off center too, I tried all the things you tried as well. The only solution I can see is to adjust the tie rod ends to center it up. I am gonna drive mine as is, it ain't bothering me that much.
