My steering wheel on 20SF has lots of play. What is the simple fix?

When you say "play", what do you mean? Is the wheel and its mount moving in you hands as if it is not securely attached to the console or do you mean that there is some "dead" movement of the wheel as you turn it from the left to the right? Two different problems.
The first is that the wheel and its hub assemly need to be re anchored to the console in some fashion. The second indicates that there needs to be some correctiove action regarding the connections (steering cables for mechanical steering or hydraulic hoses and hydraulic fluid in hydraulic steering).
Mechanical system: generally new cables or adjustment of cable tensioning (springs). Think adjusting the brake shoes on drum brakes.
Hydraulic steering: either you have a leak that is allowing air into the system or your hoses are shot/damaged or the central control hub or steering ram(back at the engine) have leaking seal(s) or air that needs to be bled. Think "Bleed the brake lines on a car's breaking system.)
I hope this helps describe the problem. Let us know. There are a lot of guys on here with extensive experienc with each/both and will be happy to help.
