Think I have all the nuts and bolts off because it moves back a half inch to an inch all around. Don’t know if needs to come off at an angle or some other trick. Trying to double check that no wire loom is stopping it. Full removal not in manual.

 

There is a support bracket behind the dash airbag, have you got to that? There's also a central locator tang at the top centre rear of the dash that needs the assembly to come straight out.

 

Yes on behind airbag. Does the tang just locate or does it have a clip? Thinking might need to disconnect another wire loom.

 

Unless your parting out the car, you might want to unbolt the steering column and rest it on a box without disconnecting it from the intermediate shaft. I see two bolts on top already and there’s two more fasteners about a foot down the column from there. I posted pictures years ago from when I did an evaporator. Look up: “Evaporator time.” if you need any other information or just ask here.
