Angry Steering column rattle!!! How can I get to it?

I need to remove the "collar" behind the steering wheel as something in there rattles when I drive over uneven pavement, which is about 50% of my driving. I don't have an ETK to check the assembly of the clamshell collar though removing the screws top and bottom did not allow me to free the halves. I am missing something really simple....................anyone pull this thing apart yet?

Thanks in advance.

fixed. all it needed was some fabric tape on the steering column where the upper trim panel rests on top of it. now it sits on the tape. NO MORE RATTLE.
