can i pull just steering shaft?
 

ok so i restored my trucks column pretty dang nice. steering wheel still attached to the steel shaft that goes through the middle of the entire column.

i went through the entire hassle of putting the column into the truck,and forgot to slide the steering shaft into the midle of the column.

my truck does not have a front clip on it. can i just remove the steering wheel and slide it in and through from the bottom of the column where the lower bearing is sitting in?(i wouldnt see why not?)

kind of a odd question,but worth asking incase someones done this?

Ive been trying to get my column and shaft out all day so I can move it in. Not working to well for me.
