so close, and yet so far . . .

Hi, all.
  early 67 1600 roadster (low windshield)
  dashboard is ready to come out, but i see the black plastic surround on the 
steering column will prevent that.  steering wheel and the long pole it is 
attached to is already out.  detached bolts on the firewall, but it looks like 
this tube has to come out through the firewall?
  i could use some advice/direction.  
   
  thanks!
