What year car? If you do a search on here you can find lots of pics of disassembled columns, and exploded diagrams. 82-89 are all pretty much the same, if you ignore VATS. 90-92 have a few more pieces for the airbag. The part you're dealing with should be the same for all the tilt columns.

It sounds like you're saying 56 pulled apart from 57, 58, and 59? If it pulled apart, it should go back together.
