My steering wheel just developed a significant wobble. It moves several degrees left/right and up/down. The bolt holding the wheel to the splines is tight. The splined shaft itself is moving. I suspect that the bearings that hold the steering shaft have loosened up. Does anyone know the procedure for tightening them?

At the stage above you should then be able to determine which part is bad. Wiggle the shaft around and see if and how much play you get. More than a little is too much. There is also a bearing in the rear of the tube that the shaft goes through and it could be loose as well.
If your steeringwheel side bearing is looses determine if it is loose against the shaft, or in the bearing socket. Loose in the socket means that you may need another collar (not too hard to get for low $$ here), loose against the shaft means you may need a new bearing, or a collar device to take up the slack as pictured in the lower right hand corner.
