Can you post a picture of the bottom of the column? Need to make sure you don't have the bearing in upside down. There is supposed to be a little pressure on the washer and spring. That is what preloads the bearing in the bottom of the column and keeps everything snug. If you have someone push down on the steering wheel while you push up on the intermediate shaft and put the bolt in that should work.
