To get the steering wheel off you need to tap the shaft while lifting the steering wheel... I put a nut screwed most of the way down but not that the thread will get damaged when I hit the shaft (nut)..
they have a variety of different methods to tighten it up, some adjust the horizontal shaft with collars that ya move or 2 locking nut on one side that move it left & right, similar on some models for the vertical shaft to have collars you can move..
