You can. All you need is a flathead screwdriver and a 5/8 wrench. Look on top of the gearbox and you'll see a screw with a nut holding it down. Loosen the nut and turn the screw while holding the nut. Just turn it until you feel it get snug (probably a turn or so), then tighten the nut. If you overtighten it, the steering wheel won't "come back" after a turn. Sometimes you have to hold the screw and turn the wrench CCW if you can't turn the screw by hand.
Just remember, not too tight.
