I'm in the middle of my column as we speak. If you plan to dig in all the way down to below the tilt knuckle, you'll need a pivot pin remover and a Torx socket (my torx bolts are E8's), and a wheel lock remover would be nice too (I managed without this tool). When you put it all back together, use plenty of grease where the factory did, and as mentioned before, use thread locker on those bolts.
