Steering column removal

Unbolt the plate that bolts it to the firewall, unplug the harness, drive the roll pin out of the coupler and tap the coupler off the gear and pull the column.

Yep.

I believe that a 1/4" punch will be what you need to push the roll pin out. Have someone hold the steering wheel from turning while removing the roll pin, it tends to want to turn as you try to tap it out...
