Had the same thing happen to me a couple years ago. I don't remember the whole procedure clearly but I do remember removing the tilt section to get the pieces in and out. If I recall, their was a pin on each side that had to be removed. Not a fun job at all. I lubed it up good with antiseize and at least it hasn't broken again.

I had the same prob on my 90 f-250. instead of tearing down the tilt wheel, I shortened the square leg of the horshoe actuator enough to slip it into the column. all it affected was the gearshift wouldnt lock any more. other than that it worked fine.
and yes it was a pain in the a** to deal with in general, but not insurmountable.
