Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

Just stick a pry bar between the front of the couple and the steering box, it slides right off.
Old grease / grime is holding it on.

This... But if it puts up a fight, first get the column out of it. There is a very small pin near the top of the coupler in one side. Drive it all the way through. That' what keeps the guts from popping out of the coupler. Other than that pry, tap etc. its just a big spline. I think it indexes at any of 4 points 90 deg apart, not dificult to realign, but wouldnt hurt to mark it
