I ended up making up a technique based on the 944online method. The bushing position/orientation is as in Ian's image, but I put the thrust ring onto the steering shaft as far as it would go first, then pressed the ignition switch assembly on to it. Took minimal effort and removed the vast majority of the shake in the system (the remainder is wear in the bearing).

Murphy, the ignition switch is cake. Make sure the battery is unhooked, then just unscrew the hex bolt through the hole on the dash and pull (taking care to remove the wires). Insert and turn key if the steering lock gives you trouble.

On the other hand, the compreasion sleeve is a real bear if you havent had it out before (or in awhile). There are holes for a flat head screwdriver, but nowhere safe to use as a fulcrum. I generally end up using another screwdriver resting across the bearing housing.
