Help! I'm in Seattle on vacation and have noticed the steering wheel can move in a circular motion within the steering column. It doesn't move up and down but I suspect that a collar has bust. The nut on the end of the steering column is solidly on and it does not move up and down, only has play in a circular motion.

I have some tools with me but not sure what is required to repair this and not sure where to get replacement parts. I haven't taken the steering wheel off myself so not sure what could be the problem but my biggest concern is driving home to Vancouver on the I-5 with the vintage Shasta trailer and a disaster happens. Any advice/suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated. I have a few days before I need to return.
