Default Steering colum rebuild

Have a tilt tele column that is just about as wobbly as it can be without falling into my lap. Thinking about having it rebuilt by Corvette Steering Service Inc. Any experiences dealing with that particular company. Got a call this morning from the owner and he seemed to be a great guy who knew what he was talking about. Considered rebuilding it myself.

Difficult? What parts do I need to correct wobbly? Thanks !

Its pretty straightforward. Jim Shea's papers cover it. The wobbly condition could be the four "support screws" are loose that hold the head on or simply be loose pivot pins if it is only side to side.
