GM Rack gear
Hello Nelson:

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.  Once apart, you will need to replace the rack actuator gear.  I have attached a photo of that part for you...yours will be bent.
