Default Tilt Steering fix

I have an 86 corvette with tilt and the colum is all loose. I have done reading on how to fix this but is it hard or worth doing myself or should I have it fixed. Any ideas on how much to fix or links on how to fix mylsef

Its a little tricky to get at the bolts that are loose. You just need the right tools. Like wheel puller a lock plate tool and long torx drivers. Occasionally these bolts are broken, not loose. in that case a rebuild is needed. :smash:

One comment here: The $7.95 price for the lockspring tool at AutoZone is to *rent* it. It's ~$16 to *buy* it...
