Couple of things, what are you trying to mate the column up to, stock steering or what? The lower end of most steering columns are not to complicated, shaft and joints come apart and the bushing is easly removed. Depending on the length of the column you might need to cut it anyway. Do a search, lots of info on the subject. I installed an S-10 column and after cutting the housing and shaft was able to exit out the original opening.
