Default C4 Steering Column

My last project on the C4 revolves around the sterring column. I know it's screwed up, but how to fix is the bigger question. never done a column before, so should be fun:-)

Anyway, it has the infomous up/down rock. To boot, if you loosen the telescopic thing, the steering wheel pops right off in your hand:-)

I know this means the shaft if broken, as it should not do that. How big of a job am I looking at here?
