What year?
To do a '48 style jack up the front end as high as you can, remove the steering wheel, Use the special puller, I tried for three days with out one, with a home made one, three complete turns of the rachet and OFF!
Loosen tube to dash,
disconnect horn,
Remove bolts-to-frame, wiggle it out from under

Shouldn't be a problem if you disconnect the column drop from the dash before trying to remove the shaft.
