I herd it snap back in January when it was -20 here . now it will not lock in place. Just wanting a brake down diagram as to see how to take it apart and also see what part I may need.
Any help is appreciated.

Click the link for the parts and illustration book you want.
The download link on the page that opens in a new tab or window is the green rectangle that says download.
You need Adobe Acrobat Reader or one of the many clones to open PDF files.

GMPartswiki.com has my scans of the parts books but they are a page at a time.
Here's the 85-91 tilt column illustration page. http://gmpartswiki.com/getpage?pageid=57036

Click on the page links in the upper corners to go forward and backward in the book.

That write up is awesome, I have used it a few times to tighten up the tilt bolts that always loosen up.

did you try u tube. That,s where I learned to fix my 78 tilt

Is it as hard as it looks? Are all the specialty tools necessary?
I'm afraid I'll get it apart and never get it together again.

Depending on how deep you get in tearing the column apart, you will need this tool.

A buddy of mine said he could get to 2 of the 3 screws in 5 minutes. That's all he ever tightens.
