It sounds like the plastic pins broke from a sharp blow to the steering wheel. Some replace the broke pins with aluminum pop rivets. I seen a write up about this somewhere, I usually pulled the column to do this. But I read that with a good tape measure you can do it while its still in the car.

You are correct sir.
The link to that repair might be in the FAQ thread.
