[Grumpy Rick]

I have somewhat the same problem. I have reciepts for new steering column parts, the previous owner bought, and presumably installed, but since my buying the car, I cannot twist the cover, and move the wheel in or out.

Thanks to the above, now I have learned that the cover twists toward the dashboard. That's a starting point, at least. I have always been afraid to twist it too hard, and break something.
