Thanks for all the comments and if it can help someone in the future, that is great. It takes about an hour to do and definitely worth it. I have to admit I had my doubts but I will try to tighten up those other bolts inside the column when I replace the steering wheel just in case. If the other pin is easy to get to it would be worth it to try it, but I imagine there might not be room on the right side to drive it in unless the column is out?

I will say like some have experienced that it depends on how bad your housings are worn. Mine must have been kind of minor and I can imagine that if really worn the englarged pin is not going to help. I'm anxious to see what it is like to get in/out without a steering wheel in the way and quick release.

Aloha from Japan,

Craig
