Steering Column Repair: loose column, loc tite, tilt column

Question
Hello. I have a 1988 Olds 98 with tilt steering. Suddenly the column has a lot of play in it. With the research I have done, this sounds like a pretty common issue with GM vehicles. I have removed the steering wheel and have gotten to what I think is a locking collar? How can I remove this? I don't see how it is held on. Also, from what I have read, there are 3 torx screws that hold this column tight? Supposedly removing them one at a time, using blue Loc-Tite, and re-tightening should be what I need to do. Is this right?
Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hello Rod:
We have recently uploaded some videos on our company website to give you first hand viewing of how to remove, disassemble, and reassemble the loose tilt column you are talking about. They are broken down into step by step 2-3 minute detailed videos with instructions. Although the videos are for a Chevrolet truck, the column is very similar to yours.
