Loose steering wheel fixed
I just fixed the annoying looseness in my steering wheel. There are 4 reverse torx screws deep inside the steering column that were loose. Red Loctite will stop them from ever coming loose again.
The key to this repair is having a steering wheel pivot pin removal tool. Without this, you cannot completely disassemble the column. I found one at Harbor Freight.
