There's a tool for removing the pivot pins. I now have the tool but did not when I pulled my pins. I found a long screw with the proper threads and put a wide washer on it and wound it into the pivot pin. I then used a pair of pliers as a slide hammer and started wacking at it and they came right out.

would you or anyone else know the thread size of the inside of the pivot pins?
I'm going to call the local autoparts stores to see if they have such a tool kit available.

Hey this is your lucky day. Found this for you.
Remove Pivot Pin - Description #5
Remove the two pivot pins #30. Each of the pins ha
s a tapped hole so that you can use
the GM tool or jury rig a puller using an 8-32 scre
w, nut, washer, and a ½ inch or a
12mm socket. Bridge each pin with the socket and u
se the screw and nut to pull them
out. You will note that the bowl of #53 Gearshift
Lever Housing comes right up to the
edge of each pivot pin. You cannot react against t
he fragile bowl. But you also must
keep your removal tool square to the pivot pins. T
wo home made tools that provide
clearance to the bowl and keep things square are sh
own below. Some people have
successfully threaded a screw into the pins and pri
ed them out with a pair of pliers.

Does anyone know how to get ahold of him.
I really don't feel like doing this myself and I recall he had people send him them and have fixed.

Note: PDF version link above is dead and likely never coming back.
Google the file name and alt file name to find mirrors.
Working on columns:
Is not really hard to fix them most times.
If you don't what to do the job... Many people fix them. Check local shops.
Use PFF search and See my Cave, Steering for other column notes.

Well it out and apart now.
hands throbbing and shaking with arthritis. I wish I hadn't started this and just replaced it at this point.
This thread has helped me immensely so far. Thanks to Ogre's thread i know what is wrong with ignition also. It is definitely bent gear linkage thingie.
All four bolts falling out one hole I am re tapping to see if I can clean it up.
Dear lord I hope I can get this back together again.
EDIT
I just saved Jazzman's PDF from Ogre's cave. Printing it out now. Thank you Jazzman even if you are mad at something.[This message has been edited by pokeyfiero (edited 06-04-2015).]

Don't "re tap" or even just chase defective bolts or holes.
The metal part the 4 bolts go thru is soft. If you re tap the holes then likely will be doing this again.
Just get a used tilt unit and used that for better parts. Tilt section should be the same on most GM rounded columns. (Is the tube section that made for model of car.)
Yes, my cave does have a link to a "mirror." How long depend on mirror. I'm not fixing dead links every day. I don't know how long last link was dead.
