I had to replace the steering shaft and the gear sector.
Take the entire steering mounting bracket off the chassis. It's only 4 bolts and you can easily get them from the bottom if you drop the deck all the way down.

Repair Difficulty:
Medium
Time Spent Repairing:
30-60 minutes
Tools Used:
Socket set, Wrench Set, Circlip remover or MacGyver equivalent
Pinion gear (Shaft Assembly-Steering) and rack (Gear, Sector) finally wore down to where they didn't engage reliablly.
0. Park tractor with front wheels straight and somewhere where you have room to pull the mower deck out.
1. Remove mower deck. You can do the repair without removing it as a previous commenter has suggested, but you'll need two elbows, two wrists, and seven fingers on each arm to reach the screws that hold the bottom of the steering assembly to the chassis. So just take the deck off and it's quite easy after that.
2. Remove steering wheel (pop off the plastic center cap to find the big nut) and separate the upper part of the steering column from the lower.
3. Remove battery and battery tray.
4. Remove lower steering assembly by removing the 4 screws that hold it to the chassis from underneath the chassis.
5. Disassemble lower steering assembly. There is large circlip that holds it together and is kind of a pain to remove, but you don't need a special tool. Something thin to lay across the ends of the circlip and a hammer will do the job.
6. Replace the worn parts with the new ones and reinstall circlip. Try to do so such that the the steering shaft is more or less centered on the sector gear and at the same time, aligned so that the steering wheel will be centered when reinstalled. This will take some fiddling around but isn't hard.
7. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly!
