The column doesn't connect to the steering pump. It connects to the steering rack. Are we both looking at the same objects?

There is one bolt up top on the linkage and one down where it meets the rack. I use a screw driver to pry the top end off of the steering shaft. Once one end is off it will pull right off.

If that doesnt work pull the steering wheel out some. Two bolt under kick panel and three agianst fire wall. The ones on the fire wall dont need to be pulled out all the way.
