Cannot remove the steering column bearing. Frustrated.

Thanks I used your method along with someone wiggling the column as I pressed it out and it finally came free. Fought me just as much when I put it back on as well. Had to really press it in there. No idea what the hell the deal was with that thing because even after rubbing it down with emery cloth and 20000 grit sandpaper, it never moved smoothly.

Got everything back together and now the car wont even start at all. I have voltage coming in and out of the ignition switch connector under the dash but for whatever reason the thing just won't start. It turns over when jumping the starter. I have no idea what possibly could have happened in between then and now that could have caused this thing to just do nothing when I turn the key.
