Undo the flexible coupling at the steering box,the column should then slide up enough to lift the body.

If the couplers 2 bolts to the steering shaft coupling are removed then body should just lift straight up. If in doubt tho pull the steering wheel up
and use a mole grip on the steering shaft to keep it raised outta the way 
madness is in the eye of the beholder  |

No it isn't hard,undo the flange at the top of the coupling,release the wires for the horn and blinker switch undo the 2 bolts on the column bracket
and pull the column upwards and it will slip out of the rubber seal.
