 I had the same experience as Jim, I couldn't get enough movement in the steering column for the joints to separate only instead of loosening the steering rack I removed the bolts holding the steering wheel under the dash. Removing the 2 steering rack bolts sounds much easier but I couldn't get a wrench on them because of the way they are inset in the rack housing.

I was convinced the joints were frozen until I loosened the steering wheel end of the column then it slipped right off.

If you can get a camera in try taking a photo of the top knuckle(?) joint. Or maybe there's one somewhere already. It can flip 2 ways and when I first put it back together I had it wrong and it bumped the header when turning the wheel. Had to loosen everything and flip it the other way then it cleared.
