You removed the U-bolts?

Think so, might just be rust holding it on?

cosh it with a hammer from the inside. that what i did. then found out they needed wigglin off to one side.

If you've completely removed the 2 U-bolts then there isn't holdiing it on, I take it you've taken the steering column off, and the track rod ends are disconnected?

stick a wide screwdriver in the clamp where you took the bolt out of on the steering column shaft. that oughtta free it up
