Hello,

In order to remove the steering column, first the steering wheel needs to be removed.
Keep in mind to take extra care when handling airbag module.

Take a look at this helpful guide:

If you need any other information, please let me know.

Thank you.

Got it. If you look at diagrams, the intermediate shaft procedure starts from the number 4 diagram/attachment.
You will have to remove part of the instrument panel to have clear access.
