Trying to gain access to the bolts to tighten them up and now i am stuck i to the point of removing the tilt pins but i can't identify them, any help would be appreciated.

 

Welcome to TGO, surfer.

Take note that there aren't many questions that haven't been asked and answered, so a search will frequently be a benefit.

For the issue at hand, start with the following link:

From what it sounds like, you have everything disassembled up the the tilting pins. If so, you'll need a special tool which screws into them and pulls them out (a pin puller?). Once that is done, if I remember correctly the upper part of the column should come free. You should see four bolts in the center that are very loose, take them out, clean them off, apply some thread lock and put them back in.

There are a lot of articles out there and there are some videos explaining how to do it. Almost all GM steering columns were the same 'till the mod 90's, so any video with one of the gm columns should work.


Hope this help, and good luck.
