There are two brackets that hold the steering column to the dash frame. Remove the bolts that hold the brackets to the dash frame. There is one bolt that connects the universal joint to the rest of the steering shaft. All these bolts are accessible under the dash. Beyond that you need to unplug the electrical, and also if you have an automatic, you need to disconnect the park innerlock cable from the column. (Easier after you have lowered the column out of place)
