Tilt Column: Lock plate removal

I have a 91 GMC 5.7L: That has tilt steering and its lose I have removed the steering wheel now I am looking at a metal plate or sprocket. My question is how do you remove this. Does this need a gear puller to remove it.

Re: Need help w/ Tilt Collum

The “Lock Ring” holds it on. It has a spring behind it. Notice the tool being used to compress the spring so the lock ring can be removed.

Here is another photo of a tool made for this job:

Looks like on this site he did the quick fix and did not take it apart far enough to tighten all four fasteners.
