Need Help ASAP!!

its not so much the problem thats gotten me confused because i know what is wrong, but i just need someone that knows how to fix it, its got me stumped.

the problem: is that when i turn my key nothing happens, its just loose

the cause: the actuator rod inside the steering column popped off the actuator rack

now i can't for the life of me figure out how it connects back onto the actuator rack. i can reach inside with screw drive and fidget and get it to start, but how in the world does it connect, permanently...heheh. plus that plastic housing is completely in the way (you know right under the gauges) and i can't figure out how to move that either.

does anyone now anything about the steering colum and the ignigtion that would know how they connect back together....

Vader, sorry for posting a link to your site, but I'm sure you would explain a little, and then post this anyways
