Default Steering column repairs

I guess from people using it to get out of the car, the steering wheel has this odd play in it. Id like to fix it, but not sure where to start.

I have a spare column removed from car, also suffering same problem. So, id like to rebuild it. Might as well make all the buttons and LEDs work while im at it.

Pointers are welcome. I didn't see anything on shbox yet, still browsing there. If anyone has done it yet, spill your guts please.

Skimmed through once, only saw the thread about the lamps. Checked again, skipped over exactly what I was looking for. Im bad about that.
