I thought I had pictures of when I rebuilt my steering column but can't find them now. So with that in mind I believe there are 2 shear pins. 
 I'm guessing that you might be able to fix by leaving it in the car. But I know it is a lot easier working on it and cleaning it when it is out of the car. I took the opportunity to clean the steering column and freshen it up when restoring one of the cars.
