I was able to get all the parts from ford to rebuild my entire tilt column. That part that got broken on yours is the whole aluminum assembly that is basically the base for the tilt. I got that piece from ford for pretty cheap, then realized they've changed it a bit and i had to replace the upper collar, ignition switch, and just about everything else. I still came out under 100 for all that.

How did you get the tilt steering unit off in order to get the aluminum housing off? Thats where i'am now and i'm stuck.
