Question Unanswered: 75 Manta Steering column bearing

I'm stumped! I took the Manta steering column apart because there was way too much play in the column. I thought that maybe there would be a cone bearing to adjust the play side to side and up and down (like on a bicycle axle). What I found instead were the remnants of a ball bearing.

How do I get the whole thing apart? Where can I get bearing? I got one for a 72 Manta (thinking they are all the same), but I don't see how it could fit. We're only 19 days away from Carlisle and I need to get this thing back together! HAAAAALLLLPPPPPP!

Allen;
Worse case, I can send you a column I have out of the car already. Just let me know.
