57 steering column removal

I am ready to remove the steering column, I have the steering wheel removed and all on the interior connectors disconnected. Do I have to unbolt the steering box to remove the steering column?
Thanks,

Re: 57 steering column removal

Are you replacing the column and steering box? If so then you can remove the pitman arm, unbolt the box and pull the whole assemby from the firewall side. I think the column is held to the box by 4 bolts, can't remember if they are all accessible without unbolting and pulling the steering box. I have always pulled them as an assembly.

Thanks,
You have to remove the box and column as a unit they are pressed together. There are three bolts down on the frame that connect the box to the frame rail, once you remove the pitman arm, the three bolts, and the interior clamp you cam remove the steering box/column.
