The tool is called a "Steering Wheel Lock Plate Remover." It looks like a tuning fork with a bolt thru the top.
I have one. I don't remember how much it cost (I've had it for about 7 years). You should be able to get it at a national chain autoparts store, Pep Boys, Checker, Kragen, Schucks, Autozone... I bought it for my 81 Buick LeSabre. The steering shaft mounting screws were coming loose.
Good luck.

A spring compressor. It looks like a forged letter "y" and is available from most auto parts or discount tool stores. It will come with instructions but if you can turn a bolt, you will have no problem using these.

Second picture shows the tool. You may be able to rent one from an auto parts store.
