Ryan,
The steering gear in the box and the shaft up to the wheel is a
complete solid piece and doesn't come apart at the box. I had to removed
the bolts holding it to the frame and disconnect all inside the cab and
slid it out the bottom. You'll pull the entire column out through the
floorboard.. This is what I did to get mine out and rebuilt the box. There
a plate on the floorboard you'll have to remove as well as the column drop.
You'll have to jack the truck up a little to get at an angle where it'll
come out. Good luck--wayne
